baina,  Tombigbee,  Black  Warrioi, 
Coosa,  Tallapoosa,  Tennessee,  Cha- 
tahoochee,  Perdido,  and  Cahawba. 

Cotton  is  the  staple  of  the  state. 
Other  productions  are  corn,  rice, 
wheat,  rye,  oats,  &c.  The  sugar- 
cane, the  vine,  and  the  olive,  it  is 
supposed,  may  be  cultivated  with 
success.  Coal  abounds  on  the  Ca- 
hawba, the  Black  Warrior,  &o. ; 
and  valuable  iron  ore  is  found  in 
some  parts  of  the  state. 

The  climate  of  the  southern  part 
of  the  bottom  land  bordering  on  the 
rivers,  arid  cf  the  country  border- 
ng  on  the  Muscle  Shoals,  is  un- 
healthy. In  the  elevated  part  of 
the cgtmtry,  the  climate  is  very  fine; 
the  Winters  are  mild,  and  the  sum- 
lers  pleasant,  being  tempered  by 
breezes  from  the  Gulf  of  Mexico. 

The  Cherokee  and  the  Creek  In 
dians  possess  a  large  tract  in  the 
eastern  part  of  Alabama  ;  and  the 
'Jhoctaws  and  Chickasaws  have 
possessions  in  the  west. 

In  1831  there  were  three  banks  in 
his  state,  including  a  branch  of 
he  United  States  Bank  at  Mobile. 

Alabama  was  erected  into  a  ter- 
'itorial  government  in  1817;  the 
'nhabitants  formed  a  constitution 
n  1819 ;  and  in  1820,  it  was  admit- 
ed  into  the  Union. 

The  annual  salary  of  the  gov- 
ernor is  $2,000.  This  state  sends 
five  representatives  to  Congress.

ALBANY,  city,  Albany  co.  the 
capital  of  New  York,  and  the  sec- 
ond town  in  population,  wealth 
and  commerce  in  the  state,  stands 
on  the  W.  bank  of  the  Hudson,  150

from  W.  N.  lat.  42O  39'.  E.  long 
3°  17'  from  W.  It  is  neatly  and  in 
some  parts  handsomely  built.  It 
contains  10  public  buildings.  The 
capital,  built^upon  the  upper  por 
tion  of  the  city,  has  an  elevatec 
position.  It  is  115  feet  in  length 
and  90  in  breadth.  The  City  Hall 
situated  'on  the  same  square,  is  a 
noble  building  of  white  marble

,oiu  of  State  street,  are  of  white 
narble.  The  Museum  is  a  hand- 
some building  in  South  Market 
street.  State  street,  in  its  whole 
ength,  is  remarkably  wide,  and 
shows  to  great  advantage.  The 
lumber  of  churches  is  16,  of  which 
i  are  of  stone,  7  of  brick,  and  3  of 
wood.  Canal  wharf  and  quay  are 
of  great  length,  and  exhibit  a  strik- 
ng  show  of  business  and  bustle. 
Few  cities  present  a  more  beauti- 
ul  prospect  than  Albany,  when 
een  from  the  public  square,  or  the 
ummit  of  the  capital.  The  city 
lopes  from  the  public  square  to  the 
iver,  like  the  sides  of  an  amphi- 
heatre.  Its  canal  communications 
vith  lake  Champlain,  the  northern 
akes,  and  the  Ohio  valley,  give  it 
mrivalled  advantages  of  this  sort.

12,630  ;  in  1830,  24,216,  having  near- 
y  doubled  its  population  in  ten 
/ears.  A  more  emphatic  illustra- 
tion of  the  tendency  of  the  canal 
system  could  not  be  given.  There 
are  in  the  city  3  flour  mills,  2  wool- 
en manufactories,  2  do.  cotton  and 
woollen,  1  distillery,  5  breweries, 
manufactories  of  oil-cloths,  and  a 
ery  extensive  cap  manufactory 
which  employs  200  males  and  450 
"emales,  and  pays  $1,800  in  weekly 
wages.  The  business  transacted  in 
this  establishment  amounts  to  sev- 
eral hundred  thousand  dollars  a 
year.

The  soil  exhibits  every  variety, 
from  the  most  productive  to  the 
most  sterile.  The  various  kinds  of 
small  grain  succeed  well,  such  as 
wheat,  rye,  oats,  barley,  and  maize 
Garden  plants  are  abundant,  and 
grow  luxuriously.  In  metallic 
wealth,  Arkansas  is  productive  in 
iron  ore,  gypsum,  and  common  salt 
Cotton,  Indian  corn,  flour,  peltry 
salted  provisions,  and  lumber,  are 
the  staples  of  the  territory.  Ar- 
kansas was  among  the  most  an- 
cient settlements  of  the  French  in 
Louisiana.  That  nation  had  a 
hunting  and  trading  post  on  the 
Arkansas  river  as  early  as  the  be- 
ginning of  the  eighteenth  century  ; 
but,  from  the  peculiar  situation  of 
the  adjacent  country,  the  settle- 
ments upon  that  river  made  little 
advance  before  the  transfer  of 
Louisiana  to  the  United  States. 
Since  that  period,  Arkansas  has 
been  involved  in  the  various  vicis- 
situdes of  the  country  of  which  it 
[formed  a  part.  The  Arkansas  Ter- 
ritory was  erected  into  a  separate 
(government  in  1819,  extending  from 
jthe  Mississippi  to  Mexico;  but,  in 
J1624,  the  western  limit  was  restrict- 
ed to  a  line  beginning  40  miles  the

known  as  the  Battle  of  Hunker 
Hill.  Gen.  Warren  fell  in  the  ac-

CAPE  BRETON,  an  island  forming 
part  of  the  British  dominions  in 
America,  lying  between  the  N.  end 
of  Nova  Scotia,  and  the  SW.  point 
of  Newfoundland.  It  extends,  in 
a  N.  by  E  direction,  from  the  lat 
of  450  "30'  to  470  6'  N.,  and  from 
the  Ion.  5D°  45'  to  61O  35'  W.,  form 
ing  a  barrier  between  the  Atlantic 


icean  and  the  gulf,  which  it  com- 
pletely landlocks,  and  forms  into  a 
vast  inland  sea ;  the  passage  be- 
;ween  the  NE.  end  and  New  found- 
arid  being  about  C5  m.  wide,  in- 
tercepted, however,  by  the  island 
if  St.  Paul,  and  just  within  the 
?ulf  by  the  Magdalen  group  of 

sles.  Cape  Breton  is  indented  from 
V.  to  S.  by  spacious  bays,  dividing 

c  into  two  islands,  joined  together 
by  a  very  narrow  isthmus.  The 
coast  on  all  sides  is  also  much  in- 
lented  by  bays,  making  the  figure 
of  the  land  very  irregular.  Its  area, 

owever,  amounts  to  about  40,000 
sq.  ms  The  French  first  formed  a 
settlement  upon  this  island,  in 
171-2,  which  surrendered  to  a  Brit- 

sh  force  from  New  England,  in 
1745,  and  was  confirmed,  with  all 
the  other  French  possessions  in 
North  America,  to  England,  by  the 
treaty  of  1713.  Its  most  distin- 
guishing property  is  its  rich  strata 
of  coal  of  superior  quality;  with 
some  dreary  surface  it  also  pre- 
sents some  Very  fertile  spots,  well 
wooded,  and  containing  a  variety 
of  wild  animals,  the  skins  of  which 
form  a  branch  of  its  traffic.  Lou- 
isbourg,  the  chief  town,  is  situated 
on  the  Atlantic  coast,  in  the  lat.  of 
450  54'  N.,  Ion.  590  55'  W.  The 
chief  occupation  of  the  people,  not 
only  of  Lonisbourg,  but  of  the 
whole  island,  in  addition  to  agri 
culture,  is  the  cod  fishery,  which 

hey  pursue  to  some  extent  for  the 
West  India  and  other  markets. 
Total  population  of  the  island, 
about  4,000.  It  was  constituted  a 

eparate  government  in  1784,  un- 
der a  lieutenant-governor,  appoint- 
ed by  the  king ;  but  by  a  stretch  of 
authority  on  the  part  of  the  legis. 
"ative  assembly  and  council  of  Nova 
Scotia,  it  has  reverted  as  a  prov. 
'nee  to  that  government,  to  which 

t  was  originally  attached.

this  delightful  retreat  was  almost 
unknown,  and  rarely  visited  but 
by  the  hardy  hunter  in  pursuit  of 


and  it  again  disappears,  and  the 
traveller  next  finds  himself  on  the 
level  rock  of  the  Pine  Orchard,  and 
approaching  the  hotel  from  the 
rear.  A  moment  more,  and  he  ia 
on  the  edge  of  the  precipice  in  front

and  caverns.  At  length  the  tale  of  lingly  endless  succession  of  woods 
the  extent  and  beauty  of  the  pros-  [and  waters— farms  and  villages, 


pect.  and  the  grandeur  of  the  scene

roused  the  a'tention  of  the  public. 
Each  successive  season  the  number 
of  visitors  increased,  till  the  tem-

their  accommodation,  pave  place  to

[upon  a  boundless  map.  Far  beyond

line  of  stages  is  established  to  thi'j  rapidly  over  its  surface,  or  idly 
place  from  Catskill,  a  distance  ofjiloitering  in  the  calm.  These  may 
12  m.  The  ride  to  the  foot  of  thehbe  traced  to  the  distance  of  nearly 


mountain  is  not  particularly  in 
teresting— but  as  you  ascend,  every 
moment  develops  something  mag- 
nificent and  new.  The  sides  of  the 
mountain,  steep  and  seemingly  in- 
accessible, tower  far  above  you. 
clothed  in  the  rich,  deep  foliasre 
peculiar  to  such  regions;  while 
below  your  path  a  clear  stream 
runs,  one  moment  bubbling  over 
its  rocky  bed,  and  the  next  leapinc 
down  in  cascades  to  the  valley. 
The  road  is  extremely  circuitous 
and  so  completely  hejnmed  in  by 
the  luxuriant  growth 


[seventy  miles  with  the  naked  eye; 
and  again  at  times  all  below  is 
[enveloped  in  dark  cloud  and  rolling 
mist,  which,  driven  about  by  the 
wind,  is  continually  assuming  new, 
wild,  and  fantastic  forms.  From 
the  Pine  Orchard  a  ride  or  walk  of 
a  mile  or  two  brings  you  to  the 
Kauterskill  falls.  Here  the  outlet 
of  two  email  lakes,  leaps  down  a 
perpendicular  fall  of  130  feet— then 
glides  away  through  a  channel 
worn  in  the  rock,  to  a  second  fall 

_.,  f)f  £0  feet.    Below  this  it  is  lost  in 

f    forettlthe  dark  ravine  through  which  it 
G2 


0  A  U— C E  D 


finds  its  way  to  the  valley  of  the 
Catskill.  The  waterfall,  bold  as  it 
is,  forms,  however,  but  one  of  the 
many  interesting  features  of  this 
scene.  Standing  on  the  edge  of 
the  first  fall,  you  look  down  into  a 
dreary  chasm,  whose  steep  sides, 
covered  with  the  dark  ivy  and  the 
thick  foliage  of  summer,  seem  like 
a  green  bed  prepared  for  the  recep- 
tion of  the  waters.  Making  a  cir- 
cuit from  this  spot,  and  descending

York,  544  from  W.  Lon.  79O  54'  W., 
lat.  32°  47'  N.  It  is  situated  on  a 
point  of  land,  made  by  the  junction 
of  the  rivers  Coopsr  and  Ashley, 
which  by  their  union  form  a  com- 
modious harbor,  opening  to  the 
ocean  below  Sullivan's  Island,  7  m 
below  the  city.  The  passage  over 
the  bar  at.  the  mouth  of  the  harbor, 
though  deep  and  safe,  is  difficult  to; 
find.  It  is  strongly  defended  by  2 
forts  on  different  islands  in  the 
harbor.  It  contains  10  or  12  re 
spectable  public  buildings,  and  Ifc 
or  20  churches.  Most  of  them  are 
handsome,  and  some  of  them  mag- 
nificent. There  are  but  3  or  4  larger 
city  libraries  in  the  United  States 
than  that  of  Charleston.  It  con- 
tains between  13  and  14,000  vol- 
umes. The  orphan  asylum  is  a  no- 
ble and  munificent  charity,  which 
maintains  and  educates  130  orphan 
children.  There  is  a  find  also  for 
educating  at  the  South  Carolina 
college  such  boys  as  manifest  dis- 
tinguished talents.  Many  of  the 
charitable  institutions  of  this  hos- 
pitable city  are  munificently  en- 
dowed, and  afford  ample  and  effi- 
cient relief  to  the  various  species 
of  distress,  for  the  alleviation  of 
which  they  are  designed.  The  city 
is  regularly  laid  out;  and  hand 
somely,  and  in  some  parts  splen- 
didly built.  The  site  was  originally 
low  and  marshy;  but  the  low  places 
have  been  filled  up,  and  so  raised 
that  the  streets  are  perfectly  dry. 


desolated  by  the  yellow  fever,  it  is 
considered  healthier  for  acclimated 
inhabitants,  than  the  surrounding 
country.  The  planters  from  the 


[strangers  from  the  West 
jcome  here  to  spend  the  sickly 
months,  and  to  enjoy  the  elegant 
land  enlightened  society,  with  which 
this  city  abounds.  The  city  owns 
a  large  amount  of  shipping,  and  in 
the  value  of  its  exports  is  the  fourth 
city  in  the  union.  By  the  way  of 
(Norfolk,  and  across  the  bays,  it  has 
rapid  and  .easy  steam-boat  commu- 
nications with  the  northern  cities. 
In  1820,  the  population  was  24,780, 
of  which  mnre  than  half  were 
slaves.  In  1830,  30,289.

the  streams  flowing  from  its  oppo-

of  these  hills,  the  town  is  distinctly 
presented  to  the  eye,  and  spreads  a 
panoramic  map  of  exquisite  beauty 
and  variety.  Cincinnati  is  the  most 
flourishing  commercial  town  in  the 
west,  except  New  Orleans;  and 
furnishes  perhaps  the  most  signal 
example  of  that  spirit  and  capacity 
for  improvement,  which  result  from 
the  existence  of  free  institutions, 
and  are  destined  to  fill  the  Missis- 
sippi valley  with  a  teeming  popu- 
lation. Seven  of  the  streets  are  66 
feet  wide,  and  3:16  apart,  intersect- 
ed by  streets  of  the  same  width  and 
distance,  at  right  angles.  One  en- 
tire square,  and  the  fraction  of  an- 
other, are  reserved  in  central  parts 
of  the  city  for  public  buildings. 
The  city  buildings  cover  an  irregu- 
lar area  nearest  the  form  of  a  par- 
allelogram. The  central  parts  are 
compactly  built  with  houses  and 
stores  that  would  ornament  any 
town.  The  most  showy  quarters 
are  Main,  Broadway,  and  Fourth- 
street,  westward  from  its  intersec- 
tion with  Main.  The  public  build 
ings  are  a  court-house,  jail,  four 
narket-houses,  one  of  them  500  feet 
in  length,  the  Bazaar,  U.  S.  Branch 
Bank,  the  Cincinnati  College,  the 
Catholic  Athenaeum,  the  Medical 
College,  the  Mechanics'  Institute, 
two  Theatres,  two  Museums,  the 
Hospital  and  Lunatic  Asylum,  and 
the  Woodward  High  School.  Some 
other  public  buildings  are  in  con- 
templation. Beside  these,  there  are 
24  churches,  great  and  small.  The 
Second  Presbyterian  church  is  the 
handsomest  of  these,  the  exterior 
being  of  agreeable  architecture,  and 
the  interior  decidedly  beautiful. 

In  1800,  the  population  was  500;  inhThe  number  of  substantial  build- 
1810,  2,540;  in  1815,  it  was  esti-j  ings  added  annually  to  the  city  for

is  regularly  laid  out,  in  a  pleasant 
and  healthy  situation,  the  streets 
crossing  each  other  at  right  angles. 
The  growth  of  Cincinnati  has  been 
rapid,  almost  without  a  parallel. 


9,642,  and  in  1830,  it  was  25,515. 
Its  position  is  a  beautiful  vale,  12 
miles  in  circumference,  created  byi 
an  elliptical  sweep  of  Ohio  hills.j 
Such  of  these  eminences  as  havei 
not  been  laid  bare  by  the  unsparing! 
hand  of  progressive  improvement,! 
are  beautifully  wooded  to  their)

the  most  graceful  and  charming!

three  years  past,  averages  450.  It 
has  already  become  a  great  manu-

becoming  more  so.  Our  limits  pre- 
clude details;  but  all  the  substan- 
tial manufactures  known  in  our

or  less  extent.  The  manufactures 
in  iron  are  very  great,  particularly 
in  the  article  of  heavy  castings,  and 
all  sorts  of  machinery  driven  by 
steam.  Of  such  establishments 
there  are  9  or  10,  and  some  of  them 
on  a  great  scale.  The  next  most

There  are  two  fire  companies,  nm 
34  charitable  societies,  and  25  reli 
gious  societies,  in  which  most  of 
the  religious  opinions  of  Christen 
dom  are  represented.  The  build 
ings  of  the  Cincinnati  Manufactur 
ing  Company,  on  the  bank  above 
Deer  creek,  are  numerous  and  ex 
tensive ;  the  main  edifice  is  150  feel 
long,  from  20  to  37  feet  wide,  anc 
from  2  to  4  stories  high.  The  mos 
capacious,  elevated  and  permanent 
building  in  this  place,  is  the  Steam 
Mill,  erected  in  the  years  1812/13, 
and  '14.  on  the  river  beach,  upon  a 
bed  of  horizontal  lime-stone  rocks, 
and  in  high  floods  is,  for  its  whole 
length,  exposed  to  the  current.  The 
foundation  is  62  by  87  feet,  and 
about  10  feet  thick.  Its  height  is 
110  feet,  and  the  number  of  stories 
9,  including  2  above  the  eaves.  To 
the  height  of  40  feet,  the  wall  is 
battered  or  drawn  in ;  above,  it  is 
perpendicular.  The  cornice  is  of 
brick,  and  the  roof  of  wood,  in  the 
common  style.  It  has  24  doors  and 
90  windows.  Its  weight  is  estima 
ted  at  15,055  tons.  Through  tho 
building  there  is  a  wall  dividing 
each  story  into  two  unequal  apart

The  surface  of  the  District  of  Co 
lumbia  is  generally  very  pleasantly 
diversified  by  hill  and  dale.  The 
soil,  in  its  natural  state,  is  sterile 
The  climate  is  esteemed  very 
healthy.  The  latitude  of  the  Capi 
tol  is  3tP  50'  45"  north,  and  within 
a  very  small  fraction,  77°  west  fron 
London.  The  mean  temperature 
about  55°  Fahrenheit;  similar  to 
that  of  Philadelphia,  Baltimore 
and  Richmond.  The  situation  of 
the  District  is  such  that  it  has  b 
come  the  centre  of  a  very  extensive 
commerce.  The  quantity  of  flon 
and  other  domestic  produce,  brought 
down  the  Potomac  annually,  is  very 
considerable.  The  principal  ship 
pin?  interest  of  this  district  centres 
at  Alexandria,  but  extensive  busi 
ness  is  also  done  at  Georgetown 
The  amount  of  exports  in  1830  was 
753,973  dollars,  and  the  shipping 
about  21 ,750  tons.  At  the  junction 
of  the  east  branch  with  the  Poto 
mac,  the  United  States  have  a 
navy-yard,  to  which  vessels  of  thi 
largest  tonnage  can  ascend.  Then 
are  three  colleges  in  the  District 
Columbia  College,  a  seminar 
chiefly  under  the  direction  of  the 
Baptist  denomination,  is  situate( 
near  Washington ;  Georgetown 


College,  a  Roman  Catholic  institu 
ion,  at  Georgetown  ;  and  an  Epis- 
;opal  Theological  Seminary  in  the 
•icinityof  Alexandria.  The  num- 
>er  of  banks  in  1831  was  10,  in 
:luding  a  branch  of  the  United 
States  Bank  at  Washington.  The 
Uautists  in  this  district  have  18 
hurches,  10  ministers,  and  1,658 
jonununicanU;  the  Presbyterians, 
i  churches,  11  ministers,  5  licen- 
iates,  and  900  communicants  ;  the 
Methodists,  1,400  members  ;  and  the

fluence of  Broad  and  Saluda  rivers. 
It  is  regularly  laid  out,  upon  ground 
considerably  elevated  above  the 
neighboring  streams.  Boats  of  large 
iraught  ascend  thus  high,  and  a 
steam-boat  has  recently  been  built, 
ntended  to  ply  between  Columbia 
and  Charleston.  Besides  the  ordi 
nary  buildings,  suitable  to  legisla- 
tive and  judicial  proceedings,  and 
for  religious  purposes,  a  college, 
under  the  title  of  "the  S.  C.  Col- 
lege,"  was  established  in  this  town 
in  1801,  under  the  direct  patronage 
of  the  state.  It  has  9  instructors, 
and  above  100  students,  with  an 
excellent  library,  exceeding  f\000

geographical  centre  of  it.  It  is 
situated  on  the  E.  bank  of  the  Sci- 
)to  river,  in  the  centre  of  Franklin 
county,  and  occupies  a  beautiful 
slope,  just  below  the  confluence  of 
Whetstone  river  with  the  Scioto. 
It  was  a  compact  forest  in  18J2.  It 
now  has  a  number  of  respectable 
schools,  a  classical  seminary,  the 
customary  number  of  stores,  a 
bank,  four  printing-offices,  a  com- 
nodious  brick  market-house,  a 
state-house,  a  building  for  the  pub- 
lic offices,  a  penitentiary,  and  an 
asylum  for  the  deaf  and  dumb. 
The  state-house  is  75  by  50  feet. 
The  top  of  the  cupola  is  10(5  feet 
high.  Around  it  are  railed  walks, 
'rom  which  the  whole  town  is  visi- 
ile  as  from  a  map.  It  commands 
i  delightf.il  landscape  over  a  coun- 
ry  charmingly  variegated,  as  ex- 
tensive as  the  eye  can  reach.  The 
village  of  Franklinton,  a  mile  to 
he  west,  and  the  winding  Scioto, 
ire  comprehended  in  this  view. 
The  building  that  contains  the 
•mblic  offices,  is  100  by  25  feet.  In 
i  line  with  it  and  the  state-house, 
s  the  handsome  court-house  for

This  state  has  had  a  rapid  i  ncrease 
of  inhabitants  ;  yet  the  greater  par 
of  the  land  within  its  limits  still 
belongs  to  the  United  States.  The 
following,  having  the  populatio 
annexed  for  1831,  are  some  of  the 
most  considerable  towns:  New  Al- 
bany, about  2,500;  Madison,  about 
2,000;  Vincennes,  about  1,800;  Rich- 
mond, about  1,500;  Indianapolis, 
about  1,200  ;  Salem,  about  1,000.  In- 
dianapolis is  the  capital  of  the  state. 
The  principal  rivers  are  the  Ohio, 
Wabash,White  RiverWhitewater, 
Tippecanoe,  Illinois,  Plein,  Theaki- 
ki,  St.  Joseph's,  and  St.  Mary's. 
There  are  no  mountains  in  In- 
diana; the  country,  however,  is 
more  hilly  than  the  territory  of  I11J. 
nois,  particularly  towards  Ohio  r 
A  range  of  hills,  called  the  Knobs 
extends  from  the  falls  of  the  Ohio 
lo  the  Wabash,  in  a  south-west  di 
rectiori,  which,  in  many  places,  pro 
duces  a  broken  and  uneven  surface 
North  of  these  hills  lie  the  flal 
woods,  70  miles  wide.  Bordering 
on  all  the  principal  streams,  excepl 
the  Ohio,  there  are  strips  of  botton 
and  prairie  land ;  both  togethei 
from  three  to  fix  miles  in  width 
Between  the  Wabash  and  Lake 
Michigan,  the  country  is  mostlj 
champaign,  abounding  alternate!;! 
with  wood-lands,  prairies,  lakes 
and  swamps.  The  principal  pro 
ductionsof  this  state  are  wheat 
Indian  corn,  rye,  oats,  barley,  buck 
wheat,  potatoes,  p.ilse,  beef,  pork 
butter,  whiskey,  and  pencil-brandy 
Not  far  from  Big  Blue  river  there  i; 
a  large  cave,  the  entrance  of  which 
is  on  the  side  of  a  hill  that  is  abou 
400  feet  high.  Here  are  found  grea 
quantities  of  sulphate  of  magnesia 
or  Epsom  salt,  and  of  nitre,  &c 
The  climate  is  generally  health 
and  pleasant,  resembling  that  of 
Ohio.  The  Wabash  is  frozen  ove 
in  the  winter,  so  that  it  may  b< 


safely  crossed  on  the  ice.  A  college 
has  been  established  at  Blooming- 
on :  it  has  a  philosophical  and  a 
hemical  apparatus,  and  a  founda- 
ion  has  been  laid  for  a  respectable 
brary.  One  36th  part  of  the  pub- 
ic lands  has  been  appropriated  for 
he  support  of  schools.  The  salary 
if  the  governor  is  1,000  dollars. 
This  state  sends  7  representatives 
o  congress. 

INDIANAPOLIS  t.  seat  of  justice 
or  Marion  co.  and  cap.  of  Indiana, 
ituated  on  the  west  bank  of 
Vhite  river,  in  the  centre  of  one 
)f  the  most  extensive  and  fertile 
jodies  of  land  in  the  western  world  ; 
learly  central  to  the  state,  and  at 
t  point  accessible  by  steam-boats, 
n  common  stages  of  the  WTabash 
Vo  river  in  America,  according  to 
ts  size  and  extent,  waters  greater 
>odies  of  fertile  land,  than  White 
•iver.  The  country  is  settling 
about  this  towrn  with  unexampled 
apidity.  But  a  few  years  since,  it 
was  a  solid  and  deep  forest,  where 
he  surprised  traveller  now  sees  the 
xiildings  of  a  metropolis,  compact 
streets  and  squares  of  brick  build- 
ngs,  respectable  public  buildings, 
nanufactories,  mechanic  shops, 
printing-offices,  and  the  aspect  of 
universal  business  and  bustle.  Such 
is  the  present  state  of  Indianapolis, 
which  contains  200  houses  and  1,200 
nhabitants.  It  will  probably  be- 
come one  of  the  largest  towns  be- 
tween Cincinnati  and  the  Missis- 
sippi. 

It  is  about  570  m.  from  W.,  108

INDIES,  West.  This  is  a  long  chain 
of  Islands,  that  stretch  in  the  form 
of  an  arch  or  bow,  between  North 
and  South  America,  from  the  Gulf 
of  Florida,  to  that  of  Venezuela. 
They  are  divided  into  the  greater 
and  less  Antilles,  and  sometimes 
into  the  windward  and  leeward 
islands.  These  islands,  with  the 
exception  of  Hayti  and  Margarita 
belong  to  different  European  states 
chiefly  to  Great  Britain,  Spain,  and 
France.  The  four  Great  Antilles 
namely,  Cuba,  Hayti,  Jamaica,  am 
Porto  Rico,  are  the  largest  and  mosi 
important.  Some  of  the  most  consid 
erable  of  the  Caribbee  Isles,  are 
Guadaloupe,  Martinique  or  Marlii 
ico,  and  Barbadoes.  The  Bahama 
Islands  are  numerous,  but  not  very 
important.  One  of  them,  now  called 
Cat  Island,  is  celebrated  for  being 
the  first  land  in  America  that  was 
seen  by  Columbus.  There  are 
mountains  on  all  the  larger  islands 
of  this  Archipelago.  The  highest 
are  on  the  west  of  St.  Domingo,  th< 
east  of  Cuba,  and  the  north  of  Ja 
maica.  Volcanoes  have  been  ob 
served^  in  Guadaloupe,  and  soim 
other  islands.  Their  general  geo 
logical  feature  is  abrupt  transition 
from  mountains  to  plains,  markec 
by  steep  and  craggy  rocks.  Cora 
and  madrepore  rocks  are  common 
on  the  different  coasts.  Cuba  an 
the  Bahamas  are  surrounded  b 
labyrinths  of  low  rocks,  several  oi 
which  are  covered  with  palm-trees 
These  islands  are  generally  situatec 
under  the  tropic  of  Cancer,  ani 
there  is  very  little  difference  in  th 
climate;  so  that  the  observation 
touching  one  of  them  will  general 
ly  apply  to  the  whole.  The  period 
ical  rains,  which  give  birth  to  th 
spring  of  the  country,  commence  ii 
May,  and  the  brown  of  vegetatioi 
changes  to  a  deep  verdure.  Th 
periodical  rains  fall  about  noon,  am 
cause  a  luxuriant  vegetation.  Th 
medium  standing  of  the  thermom 
eter  is  78°  Fahr.  These  shower 


ropical  summer.  The  sky  is  near- 
cloudless,  and  th^heat  would  be 
Imost  insupportable,  but  for  the 
ea  breeze.  The  moon  emits  a 
ght,  by  which  a  person  can  see  to 
ead  the  smallest  print  by  night. 
The  thermometer  now  often  rises 
bove  IKP,  and  suffocating  calms 
nnounce  the  re-approach  of  the 
reat  periodical  rains.  Fiery  clouds 
re  seen  in  th3  atmosphere,  and  the 
lountaius  seem  nearer  than  at 
Dior  times.  The  rains  fall  in  tor- 
nts.  It  is  said,  that  87  inches 
ell  in  one  year.  Iron  rusts  rapidly; 
i.imidity  is  great,  and  the  inhabit- 
nts  live  in  a  kind  of  vapor-bath, 
'he  climate  is  then  relaxing,  un- 
vholesome,  and  dangerous  to  a  Eu- 
opeati.  Putrid  and  yellow  fever 
nsue,  as  some  say  from  miasma, 
.ud  others  whimsically  affirm  from 
unar  influence.  It  is  now  generally 
K;lieved  not  to  be  contagious,  and 
ess  dangerous  on  elevated,  than 
narshy  districts.  The  temperate 
one  of  the  Antilles  commences  at 
,41)0  f..-et  above  the  level  of  the 
?a.  The  mountains  at  an  eleva- 
ion  of  4.000  feet  are  subject  to 
nists  and  rains.  Most  of  the  wild 
animals  indigenous  to  this  climate 
are  of  a  smaller  size.  The  scorpion 
found  only  in  the  large  islands. 
Negroes  are  sometimes  exposed  to 
he  murderous  bite  of  the  cayman  or 
rocodile.  Parrots  of  various  species 
glitter  in  the  wood,  and  innumera- 
)le  aquatic  birds  congregate  on  the 
shores.  Humming-birds,  darting 
ilong  the  bright  flowers,  vie  in 
with  the  flowers,  the 


their  plumage 
emerald  and  r 


ruby.  All  the  tropical 
plants,  shrubs  and  trees  are  natives 
>f  this  climate.  A  canoe  made 
'rom  a  single  trunk  of  a  cotton  tree, 
las  been  known  to  contain  a  hun- 
Ired  persons ;  and  the  leaf  of  one 
species  of  palm  will  shade  five  or 
six  men.  The  palmetto,  or  moun- 
:ain  cabbage  tree,  grows  200  feet 
nigh,  and  its  verdant  summit  trem- 
bles from  the  slightest  breeze.  A 
splendid  variety  of  the  noblest  trees 
graces  the  plantations.  Lemon, 
orange  and  pomegranate  trees  per- 
"ume  the  air  with  the  aroma  of 
heir  flowers;  while  their  branches 
are  loaded  with  fruit.  The  apple,

JAMAICA,  one  of  the  West-India 
islands.  It  is  the  third  in  point  of

mercial importance.  It  is  150  m. 
long,  and  bO  broad,  but  narrower 
towards  the  extremities,  resem- 
bling an  ellipsis.  The  Blue  Moun- 
tains pervade  this  island  from  one 
extremity  to  the  other.  The  plains 
abound  in  excellent  pasturage  for 
«atlle,  and  flourishing  sugar  plan 
tations.  The  mountains  near  Span- 
ish Town  are  resorted  to,  on  ac- 
count of  their  mineral  waters 
Lead  is  the  only  metal  found  here 
The  summit  of  the  highest  moun 
tain  is  7,fcOO  feet  above  the  level  of 
the  ocean.  Sugar  is  the  great  sta- 
ple of  this  island,  and  although 
much  more  abundant  in  some 
seasons  than  in  others,  is  more 
uniform  than  in  the  other  islands 
But  the  colonists  of  late  have  di 
reeled  their  attention  much  to  the 
•cultivation  of  cotton.  Pimento 
and  ginger  are  among  the  products 
The  finest  mahogany  abounds 
The  soap  tree  is  common.  The 
bread  fruit  tree  has  been  trans- 
planted here,  and  all  the  tropical 
fruits  and  productions  come  to  ma- 
turity, such  as  oranges,  lemons 
shaddocks,  citrons,  pomegranates, 
pine-apples,  prickly  pears,  and  many 
others.  The  plantain,  which  Ja- 
maica, in  common  with  the  other 
West-India  islands,  produces  in 
•abundance,  is  one  of  the  most  agree- 
able and  nutritious  vegetables  in 
the  world.  Jamaica  contains  three 
counties,  Middlesex,  Surrey,  and 
Cornwall.  The  government  is  com-

The  principal  rivers  of  Kentuck 
are  the  Ohio,  which  flows  along  th 
state  637  miles,  following  its  wind- 
ings, the  Mississippi,  Tennessee, 
Cumberland,  Kentucky,  Green, 
Licking,  Big  Sandy,  Salt,  and  Roll- 
ing. Cumberland  mountains  form 
the  south-east  boundary  of  this 
state.  The  eastern  counties,  bor-' 
dering  on  Virginia,  are  mountain-] 
ous  and  broken.  A  tract  from  5  to! 
20  miles  wide,  along  the  banks  of] 
the  Ohio,  is  hilly  and  broken  land, 
interspersed  with  many  fertile  val- 
leys. Between  this  strip,  Green 
river,  and  the  eastern  counties,  lies 
what  has  been  called  the  garden  of 
the  state.  This  is  the  most  popu- 
lous part,  and  is  about  150  m.  long, 
and  from  50  to  100  wide.  The  prin- 
cipal productions  of  Kentucky  are 
hemp,  tobacco,  wheat,  and  Indian 
corn.  Salt  springs  are  numerous, 
and  supply  not  only  this  state,  but 


K  E  N-K  E  Y 

great  part  of  Ohio  and  Tennes- 
see, with  this  mineral.  The  prin- 
ipal  manufactures  are  cloth,  spirits, 
ordage,  salt,  and  maple  sugar. 
Hemp,  tobacco,  and  wheat,  are  the 
rincipal  exports.  These  are  car- 
ied  down  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi 
o  New  Orleans,  and  foreign  goods 
eceived  from  the  same  place  in  re- 
urn.  Louisville,  on  the  Ohio,  is 
he  centre  of  this  trade.  The  in- 
roduction  of  steam-boat  naviga- 
ion  on  the  Ohio  has  been  of  incal- 
ulable  benefit  to  the  commercial 
ind  manufacturi  ng  i  nterestsof  Ken- 
ucky.  A  canal  about  two  m.  long, 
iround  the  falls  of  Ohio  r.,  at  Louis- 
ville, was  finished  in  1831.  A  rail 
oad  is  in  progress  from  Lexington 
o  the  Ohio.  The  Bank  of  the  United 
States  has  offices  of  discount  and 
leposit  at  Lexington  and  Louisville. 
There  are  two  banks  chartered  by 
he  state,  namely,  the  Bank  of  Ken- 
ucky  and  the  Bank  of  the  Com- 
monwealth of  Kentucky,  at  Frank- 
'ort.  Transylvania  University,  in 
Lexington,  is  the  oldest  and  most 
celebrated  institution  in  the  west- 
ern states,  and  has  medical  and  law 
schools  connected  with  it.  Centre 
College  is  established  at  Danville; 
Augusta  College,  at  Augusta  ;  Cum- 
berland College,  at  Princeton  ;  and 
St.  Joseph's  College,  a  respectable 
Catholic  seminary,  at  Bairdstown.

ESE.  from  Frankfort,  about  85  S. 
from  Cincinnati,  and  534  from  W. 
Lat.  38°  6'.  Pop.  6,104.  Lexington 
is  the  commercial  capital  of  the 
state,  and  one  of  its  most  ancient 
towns.  It  received  its  name  from 
some  hunters,  who  were  encamped 
under  the  shade  of  the  original  for- 
est, where  it  is  built,  and  who, 
receiving  the  first  intelligence  of 
Lexington  battle  in  Massachusetts, 
named  the  town  after  that,  where 
commenced  the  great  struggle  of 
American  independence.  It  was 
for  a  long  time  the  political  metro- 
polis of  the  state,  and  the  most  im- 
portant town  in  the  West.  Tran- 
sylvania University  has  fair  claims 
to  precedence  among  western  colle- 
giate institutions.  Its  chief  edifice 


ing,  on  an  average,  90  deranged  pa- 
tients, under  the  guidance  and  effi- 
cient care  of  physicians,  surgeons, 
and  nurses.  The  U.  S.  Branch  Bank 
has  a  large  banking-house,  in  which 
business  in  the  way  of  discount  and 
negotiation  of  bills,  is  annually 
transacted  to  the  amount  of  1,700,000 
lollars.  The  chief  manufactures  are 
those  of  cotton-bagging,  and  various 
kinds  of  cordage,  particularly  bale 
rope.  Of  'the  former  were  manu- 
factured in  1830,  1,000.000  yards; 
and  of  the  latter  2,000,000  pounds. 
There  are  three  factories  for  spin- 
ning and  weaving  wool,  and  five  or 
six  for  cotton ;  and  one  large  and 
several  smaller  manchine-making 
factories.  In  the  woollen  factories 
are  manufactured  handsome  car- 
pets. The  town  buildings  in  gene- 
ral are  handsome,  and  some  are

classes,  376  students.  The  buildings 
for  the  medical  department  are 
large  and  commodious;  and  its 
library  contains  4,500  volumes  of 
standard  works  'in  medicine.  All 
the  libraries  connected  with  the 
University  number  14,100  volumes. 
The  law  school  has  25  pupils;  and 
the  medical  class  211,  from  all  the 
southern  and  western  states.  The 
reputation  of  its  professors  has  given 
it  a  deservedly  high  standing.  The 
Rev.  Mr.  Peers  is  at  the  head  of  a 
school  gaining  great  reputation,  as 
being  the  only  one  known  in  the  U. 
States,  the  pupils  of  which  are  pro- 
fessedly guided  in  their  whole  disci- 
pline, with  reference  to  the  physi- 
cal, organic,  and  moral  laws  of  our 
being.  The  Female  Academy,  un- 
der the  care  of  Rev.  Mr.  Woods,  is 
in  high  repute,  and  has  100  pupils. 
There  are  various  other  schools 
which  concur  with  these  to  vindi- 
cate the  high  literary  estimation  of 
this  city.  The  other  public  edificas 
are  as  follow  :  a  handsome  and  spa 

cious  court-house,  a  large  Masonic  and  272  above  St.  Louis

the  centre  of  the  town  is  the  public 
square,  surrounded  by  handsome 
buildings.  The  University,  with 
its  professors  and  students,  and  the 
mmerous  distinguished  strangers 
that  are  visiting  here,  during  the 
summer  months,  add  to  the  attrac-

in  1820,  27,176  ;  in  1830,  46,310. 

The  population  is  principally  con- 
fined to  the  settlements  on  the  Mis 
sissippi.  In  the  upper  settlements 
the  inhabitants  are  principally  Ca 
nadians;  in  the  middle,  Germans ; 
and  in  the  lower,  French  and  Span- 
iards. A  few  years  since  a  majori- 
ty of  the  inhabitants  were  Roman 
Catholics.  The  clergy  of  this  order, 
however,  are  not  numerous;  and 
the  constant  introduction  of  emi- 
grants from  the  north  is  effecting  a 
rapid  revolution  in  all  the  institu- 
tions of  the  country.  In  journey- 
ing from  New  Orleans  to  the  mouth 
of  Sabine  river,  we  meet  with  men 
in  every  stage  of  civilization.  In 
New  Orleans,  and  other  places  on 
the  Mississippi,  the  sugar  and  cot- 
ton planters  live  in  splendid  edi- 
fices, and  enjoy  all  the  luxury  that 
wealth  can  impart.  In  Attacapa? 
and  Opelousas,  the  glare  of  expen- 
sive luxury  vanishes,  and  is  follow- 
ed by  substantial  independence.  In 
the  western  parts  of  Opelousas  are 
found  herdsmen  and  hunters;  the 
cabins  are  rudely  and  hastily  con

structed,  and  the  whole  scene  re- 
calls to  the  imagination  the  prime- 
val state  of  society.  The  exports 
from  Louisiana  are  not  confined  to 
its  own  produce.  The  bulky  arti 
cles  of  all  the  western  states  go 
down  the  Mississippi,  and  are  clear- 

d  out  at  New  Orleans.     The  value 

f  the  exports  in  the  year  1804,  was 
$U500.:«>2;  in  1806,  $3,887,323;  in 
1815,  $5,102 .6 10 :  in  1817, $13,501 ,036; 
and  in  1829,  $12,386,000.  A  canal 
was  completed  in  1831,  connecting 
New  Orleans  with  lake  Ponchar- 
train.  It  is  4.V  miles  long,  perfect- 
ly straight,  and  its  ascent  and  de- 
scent are  only  16  inches.  There  art 
10  banks  and  branches  in  this  state, 
5  at  New  Orleans,  1  at  Baton  Rouge, 
1  at  Donaldson,  1  at  Opelousas,  1  at 
Alexandria,  and  1  at  St.  Francis- 
ville.  There  are  colleges  at  Jack- 
son and  New -Orleans.  In  1827,  the 
legislature  made  a  grant  to  each 
parish  rn  the  state,  of  $2  62£  to 
every  votfer,  to  be  applied  to  the 
iucation  o'f  the  indigent;  the 
amount  for  one  parish  not  to  ex- 
ceed $1,350,  nor  to  fall  short  of  $POO. 
In  consequence  of  this  act,  nearly 
f 40.000  irre  annually  appropriated 
to  the  education  of  the  poor.  The 
number  of  periodical  papers  in  1P31 
was  12.  The  Mississippi  was  dis- 
covered by  Marquette  and  .Toilette, 
two  French  missionaries,  in  1673. 
In  1682.  the  country  was  explored 
by  La  Sails,  and  named  Louisiana 

11  honor  of  Louis  XIV.  A  French 
settlement  was  begun  at  Iberville 

n  1699,  and  in  1717  New  Orleans 
was  founded.  In  1803,  the  exten- 
sive country  of  Louisiana,  com- 
prisi  ng  all  the  territory  now  belong- 
ing to  the  United  States,  lying  west 
of  the  Mississippi,  was  purchased 
of  France  for  the  sum  of  15,000,000 
dollars;  and.  in  1H12,  the  southern 
portion  of  this  country  was  admit- 
ted into  the  Union  as  an  indepen- 
dent state.  In  the  latter  part  of  the 
last  war  between  Great  Britain  and 
the  United  States,  a  very  formida- 
ble armament  invaded  the  territo- 
ry of  Louisiana,  with  a  view  to  the 
capture  of  New  Orleans.  Several 
thousand  volunteers  from  the  ad- 
joining country  hastened  to  the  re- 
lief of  the  city,  and  their  energies 
were  ably  directed  by  Gen-  Jark&on, 


LOU- 

Four  engagements  took  place,  in 
all  of  which  the  British  were  deci- 
sively repulsed.  In  the  last  of  these, 
which  occurred  on  the  8th  of  Janu 
ary,  1815,  the  loss  of  the  enemy  was 
so  great,  that  he  withdrew  the  re 
mainder  of  his  forces,  and  desisted 
from  the  hopeless  attempt.  The  gov- 
ernor's salary  is  7,000  dollars.  This 
state  sends  three  representatives  to 
congress.

contained  in  1600,  (iOO  inhabitants 
in  1810, 1.350;  in  1820, 4,012;  in  1830, 
10,33tj,  having  more  than  doubled 
its  population  within  the  last  ten 
years.  Louisville,  in  a  commercial 
point  of  view,  is  far  the  most  im 
portant  town  in  the  state.  The 
main  street  is  nearly  a  mile  in 
length,  and  is  as  noble,  as  compact 
and  has  as  much  tha  air  of  a  mari 
time  town,  as  any  street  in  the 
western  country.  It  is  situated  on 
an  extensive  sloping  plain,  below 
the  mouth  of  Beargrass,  about  a 
quarter  of  a  mile  above  the  princi 
pal  declivity  of  the  falls.  The  three 
principal  streets  run  parallel  with 
the  riverfand  command  fine  views 
of  the  villages  and  the  beautiful 
country  on  the  opposite  shore.  The 
public  buildings  are  a  court-house, 
jail,  poor-bouse,  and  work-bouse,

jpwder  magazine,  marine  hospital,

prevalent  denominations  of  the 
country.  The  manufacturing  estab- 
ishments  are  numerous  and  valua- 
ble. The  greatest  fall  in  the  Ohio 
3  just  below  this  city.  In  high 
stages  of  water,  the  rocks  and  shal- 
ows  are  all  covered,  and  boats  pass 
without  perceiving  them.  But  this 
stage  of  water  does  not  occur,  on 
an  average,  more  than  two  months 
in  the  year,  rendering  it  necessary 
at  all  other  times,  that  boats  from 
he  lower  country  should  stop  here. 
The  falls  equally  arrested  boats 
"rom  above.  Consequently  freights 
n  tended  for  the  country  above  were 
equired,  at  a  great  expense  of  time, 
delay,  and  factorage,  to  be  unload- 
ed, transported  by  land  round  the 
'alls,  and  reloaded  in  boats  above. 
Large  steam-boats  from  New  Or- 
leans, though  belonging  to  the  up- 
per country,  were  obliged  to  lie  by 
through  the  summer  at  Portland. 
To  remedy  these  inconveniences, 
he  Louisville  and  Portland  canal 
round  the  falls  has  been  construct- 
ed. It  overcomes  the  ascent  of  22 
feet  by  5  locks,  and  is  40  feet  deep.

The  Territories  of  Tlascala  and 
Coliina  consist  of  those  cities  re- 
spectively, together  with  a  very 
limited  extent  of  contiguous  coun- 
try. The  country  out  of  which  this 
republic  has  been  formed,  is  peculiar 
as  respects  the  features  of  its  geo- 
graphy. It  extends  from  lat.  15° 
50'  to  423  N.;  th;  intermediate 
space  embracing  every  variety  of 
soil,  from  the  most  recent  alluvion 
lo  plains  of  near  8,000  f«et  above 
the  contiguous  oceans.  These 
elevated  plains  are  again  broken 
and  decorated  by  colossal  summits, 
rising  from  12  to  upwards  of  17,000 
feet.  From  this  difference  of  eleva- 
tion, and  from  embracing  such  an 
extensive  range  within  and  without 
the  tropics,  Mexico  may  be  cons 
dercd  as  possessing  every  climate 
of  the  earth,  and  capable  of  produ 
ring  every  vegetable  necessary  to 
the  wants  or  the  luxuries  of  human 
life.  Its  metallic  wealth  is  no  less 
abundant  than  its  vegetable.  From 
its  bowels  are  extracted  many  of 
the  most  usef.il.  and  all  the  precious 
metals.  Mexico  has  but  few  cood 
harbors:  some  of  the  best  and  most 
frequented  are  Vera  Cruz  and  Tarn- 
pid>  on  the  gulf  of  Mexico,  anr< 
Acapilco  and  San  Bias  on  the 
Pacific  ocean.  Vera  Cruz  is  the 
port  through  which  most  of  the  com 
merce  b,?tw*en  Mexico  and  Europe 
has  been  carried  on.  Gold  and 
silver  are  found  here  in  great  quan- 
tities The  annual  produce,  in 
ordinary  years,  used  seldom  to  fall 
below  323,000,000  of  silver.  The 


sold  is  found  in  little  straw-like 
fragments  and  veins.  The  richest 
nine,  in  its  yield  of  native  silver, 
is  Bartopilas  in  New  Biscay.  In 
most  of  them,  the  metal  is  extracted 
from  red,  black,  muriated  and  sul- 
phuretted ores  of  silver.  The  cli- 
mate is  delightful,  and  the  vicinity 
abounds  with  forest,  and  every 
facility  to  work  the  mines  to  ad- 
vantage. A  catalogue  of  the  names 
of  50  mines  might  easily  be  given, 
extending  from  Santa  "Fe,  at  the 
sources  of  the  Rio  del  Norte,  to  the 
Pacific.  Its  silver  mines  are  the 
richest  in  the  world,  and  have  for 
a  long  time  produced  annually  ten 
times"  as  much  silver  as  all  the 
mines  in  Europe.  Some  of  these 
mines  are  regarded  as  curiosities; 
and  one  of  them  is  excavated  eight 
miles  in  length,  and  1,640  feet  in 
depth.  In  1521,  the  Spaniards  under 
Cortez  subdued  Mexico,  which  was, 
at  that  time,  under  the  government 
of  the  emperor  Montezuma  ;  and  in 
1821,  the  Mexicans  declared  them- 
selves independent  of  Spain. 

MEXICO,  City  jf,  capital  of  the 
republic  of  the  same  name,  is  situa- 
t*d  in  lat.  19O  28'  N.,  Ion.  from  W, 
220  5'  W.,  on  or  near  the  W.  shore 
if  the  Lake  Tezcuco,  and  in  the 
central  part  of  the  valley  of  Tenoch- 

Han.  and  also,  nearly  at  mid-dis- 
tance between  Vern  Cruz  and  Aea- 
pulco.  The  site  of  Mexico  is  eleva- 
ted 7,470  feet  above  the  ocean.  The 
present  streets  have  for  the  most 
part  the  same  direction  with  the 
old  ones,  running  from  N.  to  8.

M  E  X-M I A 


W.    But    what 


§ives  the  new  city  a  peculiar  and 
istinctive  character,  is,  that  it  is 
situated  entirely  on  the  .continent, 
between  the  extremities  of  the  two 
Lakes  of  Tezcuco,  and  Xochimilco, 
and  that  it  only  receives  by  naviga- 
ble canals  the  fresh  water  of  the 
Xochimilco.  A  canal,  dug  at  a  pro- 
digious expense  under  the  moun- 
tains, contributes  to  drain  it.  The 
houses  are  built  on  piles,  as  the 
ground  is  by  no  means  firm.  The 
streets,  though  wide,  are  badly 
paved.  The  houses  in  this  strange 
and  rich  vale  on  the  summits  of 
mountains,  are  as  magnificent  and 


unique,  as  the  position.    They  are!  N.   by   Shelby,  E.   by    Champaign 


spacious,  and  built  of  porphyry  and 
amygdaloid.  Many  of  the  palaces 
and  private  mansions  have  an  im- 
posing show,  andglitter  withmetal- 
lic  riches.  The  cathedral  is  perhaps 
the  richest  in  the  world.  Altars, 


candle-sticks  ami  images  of  the 
sainjts  are  of  colossal  size,  and  solid 
silver,  and  ornamented  with  pre- 
cious stones.  Palaces,  mansions  of 


interior  of  this  city.  Near  the 
suburbs,  to  the  north,  is  the  alnnie- 
da  or  chief  promenade.  Sound  this 
walk  flows  a  rivulet  forming  a  fine 
square,  in  the  centre  of  which  is  a 
fountain,  with  a  basin.  Eight  alleys 
of  trees  terminate  here,  in  the  form 
of  an  altar.  The  detestable  Inquisi- 
tion, finally  abolished  by  the  ex-em- 
pnrorlturbide,  was  near  this  square. 
This  superb  city  is  inhabited  by 
160,000  people,  and  is  the  centre  of 
more  scientific  establishments  than 
any  other  Spanish  town  in  America.

exports,  in  1831,  was  $53,290.  The 
climate  of  this  region,  in  conse 
quence  of  its  being  level  and  pen 
insular,  and  surrounded  on  all  sides 
but  the  south  with  such  immense 
bodies  of  water,  is  more  temperate 
and  mild  than  could  be  expected 
from  its  latitude.  The  southern 
parts  have  mild  winters,  and  the 
spring  opens  as  early  as  in  any  part 
of  the  United  States  in  the  same 
latitude:  the  position  of  the  north- 
ern parts  must  subject  it  to  a  Cana- 
dian temperature.  The  winter  com- 
mences here  early  in  November, 
and  does  not  terminate  until  the 
end  of  March.  Detroit,  the  capital 
of  Michigan,  was  settled  by  the 
French  about  the  year  1670.  In 
1805,  the  country  was  erected  by  the 
congress  of  the  United  States  into 
a  separate  territorial  government ; 
in  1812,  it  was  taken  by  the  British 
under  Gen.  Brock  ;  and,  in  1813,  it 
was  recovered  by  the  army  of  the 
United  States  under  Gen.  Harrison. 
The  governor's  salary  is  $2,000.

MISSISSIPPI,  a  river  of  the  U.  S 
This  magnificent  stream  has  al 
ready  been  the  subject  of  so  man; 
minute  descriptions,  that,  to  giv« 
the  reader  a  correct  account  of  i 
without  considerable  repetition 
would  be  scarcely  possible.  It  risei 
in  high  table-land,  in  the  grea 
Northwestern  Territory  VV.  of  Lak< 
Superior.  A  medium  of  the  au 
thorities  respecting  the  point  of  iti 
origin,  would  give  it  to  be  in  lat 
47=>  47'  N..  though  in  speaking  of 
the  source  of  large  rivers  which  are 
formed  of  a  great  number  of  tribu 
taries,  it  is  not  often  possible  tc 
say,  precisely,  which  particula; 
branch  carries  the  most  water,  or 


rely  ascend  the  Mississippi  high- 
r  than  Natchez,  which  is  322  m. 
y  the  river,  above  New  Orleans, 
nt  it  is  navigated  by  steam-boats 
i  the  Falls  of  St.  Anthony,  a  (Us- 
ance of  more  than  '2,000  m.  frbm

ver,  which  here  is  about  half  a 

mile  wide,  precipitates  its  waters 
n  a  perpendicular  descent  of  six- 
een  or  seventeen  feet.  For  a  long 
istance  below  these  falls,  it  is  a 
lear.  placid,  and  beautiful  stream, 
vith  wide  and  fertile  bottoms.  Its 

medial  current  is  not  more  than  2 
n.  an  hour  from  the  falls  to  the 
nonth  of  the  Missouri,  except  at

0  the  navigation  during  a  part  of 
he  summer.     Where   it  receives 
he   Missouri,  it  is   a  mile  and  a 

half  wide.  The  Missouri  itself 
nters  with  a  mouth  not  more  than 
lalf  a  mile  wide.  The  united 

1  ream  below,   has  thence,  to  the 
nouth  of  the  Ohio,  a  medial  width 
)f  little  more  than  three  quarters 
)f  a  mile.    This  mighty  tributary 
leema  rather  to  diminish  than  to 
ncrease  its  width ;  but  it  percepti- 
»ly  alters  its  depth,  its  mass  of  wa- 
ters, and  what  is  to  be  regretted, 
wholly  changes  its  character.    It  is

the  river,  than  the  deep  crash  of  a 
land-slip,  in  which  larger  or  small 
masses  of  the  soil  on  the  banks 
with  all  the  trees,  are  plunged  int< 
the  stream.  The  circumstance; 
that  change  the  aspect  and  curren 
of  the  river,  are  denominated,  ir 
the  vocabulary  of  the  watermen 
chutes,  races,  chains,  sawyers

There  are,  at  present,  bends  of  this

The  divinity  most  frequently  in 
voked  by  boatmen,  seems  to  have 
imparted  his  name  oftener  than 
any  other  to  the  dangerous  places 
along  the  river.  The  "  devil's' 
race-paths,  tea-table,  oven,  &c.  are 
places  of  difficult  or  hazardous  navi 
gation,  that  frequently  occur.  Thej 
are  serious  impediments  to  the 
navigation  of  this  noble  stream 
Such  is  its  character  from  Missour 
to  the  Balize ;  a  wild,  furious 
whirling  river — never  navigated 
safely,  except  with  great  caution 
On  the  immense  wreck-heaps 
where  masses  of  logs,  like  consid- 
erable hills,  are  piled  together,  the 
numerous  wrecks  of  boats,  lying 
on  their  sides  and  summits,  suffi- 
ciently attest  the  character  of  the 
river,  and  remain  standing  memen- 
toes to  caution.  Boats  propelled 
by  steam-power,  which  can  be 
changed  in  a  moment,  to  reverse 
the  impulse  and  direction  of  the 
boat,  are  exactly  calculated  to  ob 
viate  the  dangers  of  this  river.  No 


the  first  time,  receives  clear  and 
adequate  ideas  of  its  grandeur,  and 
the  amount  of  water  which  it  car- 
ries. If  it  be  in  the  spring,  when 
the  river  below  the  mouth  of  the 
Ohio  is  generally  over  its  banks, 
although  the  sheet  of  water  that  is 
making  its  way  to  the  Gulf  is,  per 
haps,  thirty  miles  wide,  yet  finding 
its  way  through  deep  forests  and 
swamps  that  conceal  all  from  the 
eye,  no  expanse  of  water  is  seen, 
but  the  width  that  is  curved  out  be- 
tween the  outline  of  woods  on 
either  bank;  and  it  seldom  exceeds, 
and  oftener  falls  short  of,  a  mile. 
But  when  he  sees,  in  descending 
"rom  the  falls  of  St.  Anthony,  that 
it  swallows  up  one  river  after 
another,  with  mouths  as  wide 
as  itself,  without  affecting  its 
width  at  all ;  when  he  sees  it  re- 
ceiving in  succession  the  mighty 
Missouri,  the  broad  Ohio,  St.  Fran- 
cis, White,  Arkansas,  and  Red  riv- 
ers, all  of  them  of  great  depth, 
ength,  and  volume  of  water ;  when 


them  all,  and  retaining  a  volume 
apparently  unchanged — he  begins 
estimate  rightly  the  increased 
depths  of  current,  that  must  roll  on 
n  its  deep  channel  to  the  sea 
From  the  sources  of  the  river  to 
he  mouth  of  the  Missouri,  the  an 
mal  flood  ordinarily  commences  in 
Vlarch,  and  does  not  subside  until 
he  last  of  May;  and  its  medial 
height  is  fifteen  feet.  At  the  low- 
est stages,  four  feet  of  water  may 
found  from  the  Rapids  of  Des 
Moines  to  the  mouth  of  the  Mis- 
souri. Between  that  point  and  the 
nouth  of  the  Ohio,  there  are  six 
'eet  in  the  channel  of  the  shallow- 
est places  at  low  water,  and  the  an- 
nual inundation  may  be  estimated 
t  twenty-five  feet.  Between  the 
louth  of  the  Ohio  and  the  St. 
Francis,  there  are  various  shoal 
ilaces,  where  pilots  are  often  per- 
plexed to  find  a  sufficient  depth  of 
vater,  when  the  river  is  low.  Be- 
ow  that  point  there  is  no  difficulty 
or  vessels  of  any  draught,  except 
o  find  the  right'channel.  Below 
he  mouth  of  the  Ohio,  the  medial 
ood  is  fifty  feet ;  the  highest,  sixty. 
Above  Natchez,  the  flood  begins  to

Missouri,  are  exceedingly  rich. 
They  consist  of  a  stratum  of  black 
alluvial  soil  of  unknown  depth.  As 
you  recede  from  the  banks  of  the 
rivers,  the  land  rises,  passing  some- 
times gradually,  and  sometimes  ab- 
ruptly into  elevated  barrens,  flinty 
ridges,  and  rocky  cliffs.  A  portion 
of  the  state  is,  therefore,  unfit  for 
cultivation,  but  this  part  of  the 
state  is  rich  in  mineral  treasures. 
The  land  is  either  very  fertile  or  very 
poor ;  it  is  either  bottom  land,  or 
:liff;  either  prairie  or  barren  ;  there 
is  very  little  of  an  intermediate

portions  of  it  to  the  Africa 
desert  of  Sahara.  The  margins  o 
the  lower  courses  of  the  rivers  tha 
enter  the  Mississippi  from  tli 
region  are  wooded;  but  ia  ascem 
ing  towards  the  mountains,  th 
trees  gradually  diminish,  and  a 
length  entirely  disappear.  To  th 
west  of  these  plains  the  Rock 
Mountains  rise  up  in  an  abrup 
manner,  presenting  a  steep  fron 
with  many  frowning  rocky  prec 
pices,  and  having  many  summit 
covered  with  perpetual  snow.  It 
a  singular  fact  that,  between  th 
sources  of  the  La  Platte  and  th 
Buenaventura,  there  is  an  openin 
through  this  range  which  admit 
the  passage  of  loaded  wagons.  Th 
largest  rivers  of  this  country  are  th 
Missouri  and  its  tributaries,  th 
Kansas,  La  Platte,  and  Yellow 
stone.  The  Great  Falls  of  the  Mis 
spuri,  which  are  2,570  miles  by  th 
river  from  the  Mississippi,  consist 
of  a  succession  of  cataracts  an 
rapids,  amounting  in  the  whole  t 
350  feet.  The  largest  cataraci 
which  is  87  feet  perpendicular,  pre 
sents  a  scene  of  much  beauty  an 
grandeur.  The  place  where  the 
Missouri  seems  to  have  torn  fo 
itself  a  passage  through  the  moun 
tain  ridge,  called  the  Gates  of  th 
Rocky  Mountains,  is  described  a 
a  very  sublime  spectacle.  The  rive 
flows  through  a  chasm  more  than 
five  miles  long  where  the  rocks  rise 
perpendicularly  from  the  water' 
edge  to  the  height  of  nearly  1,2(X 
feet.  The  stream  is  here  compress 
ed  to  the  width  of  150  yards  ;  and 
for  the  space  of  three  miles,  there  i 
but  one  spot  on  which  a  man  can 
*tand,  between  the  edge  of  the 
water  and  the  perpendicular  ascen 
of  the  mountain  rock.  The  Unite< 
States  have  established  military 
posts  at  Council  Bluffs  and  on  St 
Peter's  river. 

MISSOURI,  the  longest  river  in  N 
America,  is  formed  of  three  princi 
pal  branches,  the  Jefferson,  Madi- 
son, andGallatin,  which  rise  among 
the  Rocky  Mountains,  between  42° 
and  48°  N.  lat.,  and  unite  in  lat 
450  10'  N.,  and  Ion.  lioo  W.  From 
this  confluence,  its  course  is  north- 
erly about  250  miles  to  the  Great 
Falls ;  thence  easterly  to  the  Man- 


dan  villages;  thence  it  runs,  first 
S.,   and  then  SE.  to  its  junction 


with  Hie  Mississ 
VV.,  and  lat.  38O

in  Ion.  900 
Its  whole 


length,  from  its  source  to  the  Mis- 
sissippi, is  3,217  m.  Although  it 
'oses  its  name  at  its  confluence 
with  the  latter,  it  is  much  the  longer 
stream  of  the  two,  but  the  Missis- 
sippi having  been  first  discovered 
and  explored,  it  has  retained  its 
name  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  This 

rror  being  now  past  remedy,  the 
Missouri  must  be  considered  as  a 
tributary  of  the  Mississippi.  If  we 
add  to  the  Missouri  the  length  of 
the  Mississippi  below  their  conflu- 
ence, we  have  a  river  4,490  m.  iu 
ength,  which  exceeds  by  nearly 
1,000  m.  any  other  river  on  the 
globe.  During  this  whole  distance 
here  is  no  cataract  or  considerable 
mpediment  to  the  navigation,  ex- 
cept at  the  Great  Falls,  which  are 
2,575  m.  from  the  Mississippi.  At 
these  falls,  the  river  descends,  in 
the  distance  of  18  m.,  3ti2  ft.  The 
first  great  pitch  in  ascending  the 
river  is  98  feet ;  the  second,  19 ;  the 
third,  47,  and  the  fourth,  26.  The 
width  of  the  river  is  here  about 
350  yards,  and,  from  every  descrip- 
:ion,  the  cataracts  are,  next  to 
those  of  Niagara,  the  grandest  in 
he  world.  About  100  m.  above  the 
falls,  is  the  place  called  the  Gates 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  The  rocks 
here  rise  perpendicularly  from  the 

ater's  edge,  to  the  height  of  near- 
y  1,200  feet,  through  a  distance  of 


nore  than  5 


and  the  river 


pressed  to  the  width  of  150 
Is.  Nothing  can  be  imagined 
nore  gloomy  than  the  passage 
hrough  this  dark  chasm. 

MISTASSIN,  Lake,  a  lake  of  New 
Britain,  lying  E.  of  the  S.  part  of 
"ames'  Bay,  and  surrounded  by 
nountains  called  the  Great  Mistas- 
ins.  It  is  above  250  m.  in  circuit, 
f  very  irregular  shape,  being  much 
ntersected  by  long  and  narrow 
rejections  of  land,  and  contains 

veral  islands.    It  is  formed  of  the 
Vfistassin  and  other  rivers  from  the 
lountains,   and  its  outlet  is  the

IM  O  B— M  O  B 


Mobile  river,  near  its  entrance  into 
Mobile  bay.  It  is  1,033  m.  from  W., 
226  S.  from  Tuscaloosa,  33  N.  from 
Mobile  point,  15  WNW.from  Blake- 
ly,  50  WNVV.  from  Pensacola,  40 
by  water  below  Fort  Stoddart.  Lat. 
300  40'  N.  Pop.  3,194.  Mobile  is 
the  only  town  of  any  great  import- 
ance in  the  lower  part  of  the  state. 
It  is  situated  considerably  above 
the  overflow  of  the  river,  in  a  dry 
and  pleasant  situation.  Access  to 
it  is  rendered  somewhat  dimcult  to 
vessels  by  a  swampy  island  oppo 
site  the  town.  But  when  once  they 
have  entered,  they  are  perfectly  se- 
cure from  winds,  storms,  arid  ene- 
mies; and  can  come  directly  to  the 
'•town.  It  has  swampy  lands  and 
stagnant  waters  back  of  it,  and 
near  it  a  sterile  country  of  pine 
woods.  From  these  causes,  though 
it  had  been  one  of  the  earliest  set- 
tled towns  in  the  country,  it  never 
became,  under  the  Spanish  and 
French  regime,  more  than  a  mil 
tary  post.  Under  the  government 
of  the  United  States,  it  has  received 
new  impulse  of  prosperity.  But 


i 


a  few  years  since,  little  cotton  was 
raised  in  the  whole  country  con- 
nected with  Mobile;  and  none  was 
exported  directly  from  this  place 
It  is  now  a  great  shipping  port  for 
cotton  ;  and  a  large  number  of 
square-rigged  vessels  take  their 
freight  from  this  city.  There  is  no 
other  port,  perhaps,  in  the  United 
States,  of  the  same  size,  that  ha 
so  large  an  amount  of  export.  Af- 
ter New  Orleans  and  Charleston,  it 
is  the  largest  cotton  port  in  the 
country.  It  is  enlivened,  too,  by 
tli3  coming  and  departing  of  many 
steam-boats,  that  ply  on  tha  noble 
river  above  the  city.  In  addition 
to  the  great,  number  of  packet- 
schooners  that  sail  between  this 
place  and  New  Orleans,  some  by 
the  lake,  and  some  by  the  Missis- 
sippi, there  is  now  a  steam  boat 
communication  between  the  two 
cities,  by  the  way  of  Lake  Ponchar- 
train.  Of  course,  except  during  the 
sickly  months,  it  is  a  place  of  great 
activity  and  business.  The  public 
buildings  are  a  court-house  and  a 
jail,  four  churches,  one  for  Roman 
Catholics,  one  for  Episcopalians, 
one  for  Presbyterians,  and  one  for 


Methodists.  A  Roman  Catholic 
college  is  erecting  at  Spring  Hill, 
six  miles  from  the  city.  It  export- 
ed, in  1831,  110,000  bags  of  cotton. 
It  has  the  disadvantage  of  a  shal- 
low harbor,  which  is  moreover 
growing  shallower  by  the  sand  de- 
posited by  the  rivers. 

MOBILE,  r.  Al.,  is  formed  by  the 
union  of  the  Alabama  and  Tom- 
bigbee,  40  in.  above  Mobile.  After 
a  course  of  3  in.  it  divides  and  en- 
ters Mobile  bay  in  several  chan- 
nels. The  main  western  channel 
s  called  the  Mobile;  the  main  east 
;rn  channel  is  the  deepest  and 
widest,  and  is  called  the  Tensaw. 
The  eastern  channel  passes  by 
Blakely.

MOBILE  BAY,  a  bay  at  the  mouth 
of  Mobile  river,  30  m.  long,  and,  on 
an  average,  12  broad.  It  commu- 
nicates with  the  Gulf  of  Mexico 
by  two  straits,  one  on  each  side  of 
Dauphin  island.  The  strait  on  the 
W.  side  will  not  admit  the  passage 
of  vessels  drawing  more  than  five 
feet  of  water;  that  on  the  E.  side, 
between  the  island  and  Mobile 
point,  has  18  feet  of  water,  and  the. 
channel  passes  within  a  few  yards 
i if  tho  point.  There  is  a  bar  how- 
ever across  the  bay,  near  its  upper 
end,  over  which  theie  is  only  11 
f,?et  water. 

MOBILE  POINT,  is  a  long,  -low, 
sandy,  and  narrow  peninsula,  which 
bounds  Mobile  bay  on  thn  S.,  ex- 
tending from  the  bay  of  Bon  Se- 
rours,  the  south-ear.tern  extremity 
of  the  former,  towards  Dauphin 
island,  to  which  it  approaches  with- 
in 3  in.  This  poMit  has  been  ren- 
dered remarkable,  by  the  erection 
of  a  military  post  on  its  extreme  * 
W.  extension,  called  Fort  Bowyer. 
This  fort  was  attacked  Sept.  I5th, 
1614,  by  a  British  squadron,  con- 
sisting of  two  vessels  of  28  guns 
iach,  and  one  of  18  guns,  with  a 
land  force  of  200  Indians,  and  110 
marines.  The  British  were  repulsed, 
with  the  loss  of  the  Hermes,  ana

•bout  100  men  killed  and  wounded. 
After  their  defeat  at,  and  retreat 
from  New  Orleans,  the  British  at- 
tacked and  took  Fort  Bowyer  on  the 
15th  of  Feb.  Idlo.

burden,  although  .500  miles  from  the

and  300  N.  of  New-York.  The  town 
has  a  beautiful  position,  and  shows 
to  great  advantage.  The  mountain, 
from  which  it  has  its  name,  rises 
MI  the  left  of  the  city,  and  seems 
placed  there,  like  a  rampart,  to  de- 
rend  it  from  the  blasts  of  winter. 
A  thick  forest  covers  the  greater 
part  of  it ;  though  a  few  neatly 
built  houses  show  their  roofs  from 
the  midst  of  the  mountain  groves. 
The  new  cathedral  is,  probably,  the 
largest  church  in  America.  Its  front 
s  255  feet,  and  its  width  134.  There 
are  five  public  entrances,  and  the 
interior  will  conveniently  contain 
10.000  persons.  There  are  seven  al- 
tars, and  tho  eastern  window  over 
th.;  hi»h  altar  is  04  by  32  feet.  The 
circuit  of  this  vast  edifice  is  1,125 
feet.  It  is  built  of  hewn  stone  from 
the  mountain.  The  college  is  the 

ext  most  conspicuous  building,  ex- 
tending in  front  with  the  wings  220 
feet.  It  contains  on  an  average  300 
students.  This  is  a  Catholic  insti- 
tution. There  are  18  or  20  public 
buildings.  The  French  style  of 
building,  the  number  of  lofty  spires 
and  towers,  and  the  glittering  tin 
covering  of  the  roofs,  give  the  city 
a  majestic  and  imposing  appear- 
ance at  a  distance.  The  population, 
by  a  census  in  1825,  was  24,000,  and 
s  now  supposed  to  amount  to 
35,000.  The  chief  article  of  its  com- 
merce is  furs.  It  is  the  emporium 
of  the  North-West  Company  ;  and 
nf  the  trade  between  Canada  and 
the  United  States.  The  only  inter- 
ruption to  the  navigation  of  the  St. 
Lawrence  up  to  this  city,  is  the 
Rapi  Is,  about  two  miles  below, 
which  often  occasion  delay  to  in- 
bound vessels,  as  they  can  ba  stem- 
mod  only  by  a  strong  wind.

NEW  BRITAIN.  The  country  lying 
round  Hudson's  bay,  or  the  country 
f  the  Esquimaux,  comprehending 
Labrador,  New  North  and  South 
Wales,  has  obtained  the  general 
name  of  New  Britain,  and  is  at- 
:ached  to  the  government  of  Lower 
Canada.  That  part  called  Labrador 
s  full  of  frightful  mountains,  many 
~>f  which  are  of  a  stupendous 
icight.  The  valleys  present  numer- 
us  lakes,  and  produce  only  a  few 
stunted  trees.  In  the  parallel  of 
50°  north  latitude,  all  vegetation 
leases.  Such  is  the  intenseness  of 
he  cold  in  the  winter,  that  brandy, 
ind  even  quicksilver,  freezes  into 
i  solid  mass;  rocks  often  burst 
vith  a  tremendous  noise,  equal  to 
hat  of  the  heaviest  artillery.  At

rnents.  In  New  North  and  Soutl 
Wales  the  face  of  the  country  has 
not  quite  the  same  aspect  of  un 
conquerable  sterility  as  that  of  La 
brador;  and  the  climate,  although 
in  the  same  parallel  of  latitude,  is 
a  little  less  rigorous.  But  it  is  onlj 
the  coasts  of  these  immense  region 
that  are  known,  the  interior  hav 
ing  never  yet  been  explored.  Tht 
natives  are  called  Esquimaux 
Some  factories  and  forts,  for  th< 
purpose  of  carrying  on  the  fur  trade 
with  the  Indians,  are  establishet 
by  the  Hudson's  Bay  and  North 
west  companies.  The  trade  of  the 
former  is  confined  to  the  neighbor 
hood  of  Hudson's  bay  ;  that  of  the 
latter  extends  from  lake  Winnipeg 
to  the  Rocky  mountains  and  the 
Frozen  Ocean.  The  North- wesi 
company  is  composed  of  Montrea 
merchants.  The  usual  mode  of  trav 
oiling  in  this  country  is  in  birch 
bark  canoes.  With  these  the  in 
habitants  pass  up  and  down  the 
rivers  and  lakes,  and  when  they 
meet  with  a  rapid,  or  wish  to  pass 
from  one  river  to  another,  they  gel 
out  of  the  canoe  and  carry  it  on 
their  shoulders.  In  this  way,  the 
men  engaged  in  the  fur  trade  trave 
thousands  of  miles,  and  carry  al 
tneir  goods.  The  principal  rivers 
are  the  Mackenzie,  Nelson,  Saskas 
hawan,  Severn,  and  Albany.  The 


Grea 


largest  lakes  are  Winnipeg,  Atha 
pescow,    Slave  Lake,    an 
Bear  Lake.

er Canada,  E.  by  the  Gulf  of  St. 
Lawrence,  S.  by  the  Bay  of  Fundy 
and  Nova  Scotia,  and  W.  by  the 
United  States.  The  principal  rivers 
are  the  St.  John's,  Miramichi,  and 
Ristigouche.  The  lands  on  the  riv 
ers,  especially  on  the  St.  John,  are 
very  fertile,  and  the  settlements  lie 


superior 

quality  is  found  on  the  Grand  Lake 
near  St.  John's  river.    The  tract  of

es  in  this  province  at  M 


com- 

at  Martin's 
head  on  the  bay  of  Fundy,  and  ex- 
tends east  into  Nova  Scotia.  The 
chief  articles  of  export  are  lumber, 
codfish,  salmon,  and  herring.  The 
principal  ports  are  St.  John,  St.  An 
drew,  Miramichi,  and  the  West 
Isles.  The  province  is  divided  into 
£3  counties.  Frederickton  is  the  cap- 
St.  John  is  the  largest  town. 
Population,  80,000.  New  Brunswick 
and  Nova  Scotia,  in  most  particu- 
'ars,  are  very  similar.  The  face  of 
the  country  is  neither  mountain- 
ous, nor  quite  level.  There  are  sev- 
eral rivers,  among  which  those  of 
Annapolis  and  St.  John's  are  the 
most  considerable.  The  soil  is,  in 
general,  thin  and  barren,  particu- 
'  irly  on  the  coasts.  In  some  parts 
there  are  very  extensive  tracts  of 
marsh,  which  are  rich  and  produc- 
tive. Both  the  soil  and  the  climate 
are  unfavorable  to  the  cultivation 
of  grain,  and  the  inhabitants  do 
not  raise  provision  sufficient  for 
their  own  consumption.  The  fish- 
eries, however,  compensate  in  some 
measure  for  the  sterility  of  the  soil. 
The  coast  abounds  with  cod,  sal- 
mon, mackerel,  haddock,  and  her- 
ring. Their  chief  exports  are  fish 
and  lumber.  Coal  is  found  in  Nova 
Scotia ;  and  plaster-of-Paris,  par- 
ticularly at  Windsor,  from  whence 
arge  quantities  arc  imported  into 
the  United  States.

mile  in  diameter,  and  about  400 
tV.-t  high,  almost  perpendicular  on 
the  south  side-.  The  entrance  of 
til-  rave,  which  i*  on  the  south 
Bide,  is  10  yards  above  the  base,  and 
after  a  (n^aL'r.  varying  in  its  di- 
mensions. 25  feet  in  length,  opens 
into  the  principal  apartment,  which 
is  15  or  20  feet  square,  three  or  four 
feet  high,  floored  and  coiled  by  a 
regular  rock.  From  the  ceiling  are 
dependent  numerous  stalactites  or 
Hxc.rpscenccs,  in  the  form  of  pears, 
whose  polished  surfaces  refluct  a 


torch-light  with  innumerable  hues 
and  uncommon  brilliancy.  The 
other  cave  is  on  the  west  side  of 
Rattlesnake  Hill,  seven  miles  south- 
west of  the  meeting  house.  The 
principal  entrance  is  eleven  feet 
high  and  four  wide.  It  extends  20 
foot  into  the  side  of  the  hill,  and  af- 
ter forming  a  semicircle  of  53  feet 
in  length,  passes  out  on  the  same 
side.  The  manufactures  of  New 
Hampshire  have  increased  very 
rapidly  within  a  few  years.  There 
are  now  more  than  40  cotton  and 
woollen  manufactories,  many  of 
them  on  an  extensive  scale.  A 
srlass  manufactory  has  been  estab- 
lished at  Keene,  and  there  are  two 
iron  manufactories  at  Franconia 
The  principal  exports  from  New 
Hampshire  are  lumber,  pot  and 
pearl  ashes,  fish,  beef,  live  cattle, 
pork,  and  flaxseed.  New  Hamp 
hire  has  a  college  at  Hanover, 
styled  Dartmouth  College,  with

ed;  a  small  academical  theological 
institutional  Now  Hampton;  and 


384 


about  HO  incorporated  academies, 
of  which  the  oldest  and  best  en- 
dowed is  Phillips  Academy  at  Exe- 
ter. Common  schools  are  estab- 
lished throughout  the  state,  and  for 
their  support  a  sum,  amounting, 
each  year  since  1818,  to  $90,000,  is 
annually  raised  by  a  separate  tax 
The.  state  has  a  Literary  Fund, 
amounting  to  $ii4,000,  formed  by  a 
tax  of  one  half  per  cent,  on  the 
capital  of  the  banks.  The  pro- 
ceeds of  this  fund,  and  also  an  an- 
nual income  of  ,$;»,000  derived  from 
a  tax  on  banks,  are  appropriated  to 
aid  the  support  of  schools.  The 
number  of  periodical  papers  in  1831 
was  16.  There  are  in  this  state  21

ernment  jn  1679,  before  which  i 
was  under  the  jurisdictio*n  of 
Massachusetts.  New  Hampshire

NEW  HAVEN,  city,  sea-port,  and 
ap.  of  New  Haven  co.  Con.,  and 
emi-capital  of  the  stale,  stands  at 
he  head  of  a  bay  which  opens  4  m. 
nto  the  land,  from  Long  Island 
Sound.  It  is  surrounded  by  a  beau- 
iful  and  extensive  plain,  bounded 
>n  all  sides,  except  towards  the 
•vater,  by  lofty  hills,  which  rise  in 
some  places  to  the  height  of  300  or 
400  feet.  It  is  laid  out  with  great 
egularity  and  neatness ;  the  streets 
ire  64  feet  in  width,  and  their  in- 
ersections  rectangular.  A  square 
n  the  centre  is  laid  out  as  a  public 
ground.  It  is  adorned  with  rows 

f  handsome  shade  trees  and  spa- 
cious walks.  On  this  square  stand 
the  public  buildings,  the  college  ed- 
fices,  and  4  churches.  For  beauty, 
there  are  few  squares  in  the  Union 
to  compare  with  this.  Two  of  the 
churches  are  for  Con<rregationalists, 
EMid  are  very  elegant  structures. 
Another  is  for  Episcopalians,  and 
is  a  most  superb  Gothic  edifice  of 
stone.  The  state-house,  which 
stands  in  front  of  this  square,  is 
one  of  the  handsomest  buildings  of 
the  kind  in  the  United  States. 
This  city  contains  also  a  Metho- 
dist meeting-house,  a  jail,  an  alrns- 
hor.se,  a  museum,  an  observatory, 
2  banks,  a  large  gun  factory,  and 
manufactories  of  paper  and  cotton. 
Yale  College,  at  this  place,  was 
founded  in  1700,  and  ranks  as  the 
second  literary  institution  in  the 
Union.  The  college  library  con- 
tains 9,500  volumes,  and  the  stu- 
dents', 9,000.  The  philosophical 
and  chemical  apparatus  is  excellent 
and  complete.  The  faculty  consists 
of  a  president,  14  professors,  and  7 
tutors.  The  whole  number  of  stu- 
dents in  1831,  divided  among  the 
departments  of  law,  medicine,  the- 
ology, and  the  academic  course 
was  496.  Of  this  number  the  col- 
lege students  made  269.  The  stu- 
lents  attend  the  lectures  of  the 
several  professors  on  their  respec- 
tive branches,  and  have  frequent 
exercises  in  speaking  and  composi-

Delaware  river  separates  this1 
state  from  Pennsylvania,  and  the' 
Hudson  forms  the  northern  part  of 
the  eastern  boundary.  The  other 
most  considerable  rivers  are  thej 
Raritan,  Passaic,  Great  Egg  Har- 
bor River,  Hackensack,  and  Mus- 
conetcunk.  Trenton  is  the  seat  of 
government.  The  other  most  con- 
siderable towns  are  Newark,  New 
Brunswick,  Elizabethtown,  Bur-: 
lington,  and  Amboy.  The  Morris 
canal  is  intended  to  connect  the1; 
Delaware  and  Hudson  rivers,  and; 
to  extend  from  Easton  to  Jersey! 
City.  The  whole  line  from  Eastonj 
on  the  Delaware,  to  Newark  on  the 
Passaic,  is  finished.  The  remain- 
ing part,  from  Newark  to  Jersey 
City,  is  about  11  miles  long,  and  not 
yet  completed.  Hopatconglake,  at! 


tlM  •ummit  level    being  about  900.  granted  in  1829,  and  which  is  to  ex 


feet  above  tide-water,  supplies  the 


Delaware  and  Raritan  canal,  which 
s  to  extend  from  New  Brunswick 
on  the  Raritan  to  Bordentown  on 
the  Delaware,  a  distance  of  34 
miles,  is  in  progress,  and  will  proba- 
bly be  finished  in  1833.  This  will 
be  a  source  of  groat  internal  im- 
provement. It  is  7  feet  deep,  and 
73  feet  w'ide  at  the  water-line  ;  and 
with  it  is  connected  a  navigable 
feeder  extending  from  the  main  ca- 
nal at  Trenton,  up  the  Delaware,  a 
distance  of  about  in  miles.  Char- 
ters for  several  rail-roads  have  been 
granted  by  the  legislature  within 
two  years, the  state-  having  reserved 
the  right  to  levy  a  transit  duty  upon 
the  goods,  &c.  transported  upon 
them,  which  is  expected  to  yield  the 
state  a  large  revenue,  when  the 
works  shall  be  completed.  The 
most  important  of  these  enterprises 
is  the  Camden  and  Amboy  Rail- 
road, the  charter  of  which  w« 


N  i;  \v- 

teiid  from  Amboy  toCamdi'ii,  a  dis- 
tancc  «f  01  miles.  The  part  of  this 
rail-road  \vhicli  extends  from  Am- 
boy  to  Bordeiitown,  a  distance  uf 
34  miles  in  length,  and  having  a 
deviation  of  only  ,  of  a  mile  in  the 
whole  distance  from  a  right  line, 
is  completed.  The  other  part  of 
the  rail-road,  from  Bor.li-ntown  to 
Camden,  a  distance  of  27  miles,  is 
rapidly  progressing.  The  Patterson 
and  Hudson  river  rail  road  is  to  ex- 
tend from  Patterson  to  Jersey  City. 
a  distance  of  14  miles.  The  stock 
has  been  taken  up,  and  the  work 
commenced.  A  charter  was  grant- 
ed in  1R32  for  a  rail-road  from  the 
Hudson  river  through  Newark. 
Kli/.abethtown,  near  Railway,  and 
VVooi  I  bridge,  to  New  Brunswick, 
and  by  means  of  the  connecting 
road  which  the  joint  companies  are 
compelled  to  make,  it  will  be  united 
lo  the  Cnmden  and  Amboy  rail- 
road. The  manufactures  of  the 
state  are  numerous  and  flourishing 
consisting  of  iron,  cotton,  woollens, 
paper,  leather,  carriages,  shoes,  and 
glass.  In  the  county  of  Morris 
there  are  7  rich  iron  mines,  2  fur- 
naces. 2  rolling  and  slitting  mills 
and  30  forges.  The  annual  product 
of  these  works  is  about  540  tons  of 
bar  iron,  hOO  tons  of  pig,  beside? 
large  quantities  of  hollow  ware 
sheet  iron,  and  nail  rods.  There 
are  also  iron  works  in  the  counties 
of  Burlington,  Gloucester,  Sussex 
&c.  The  number  of  cotton  manu- 
factories is  51.  with  an  aggregate 
capital  of  ,?2.ft-27.r>44,  which  make 
annually  5,133.770  yards  of  cloth 
There  are  13  glass  manufactories 
in  different  parts  of  the  state 
where  glass  is  made  of  various 
kinds,  from  sand  found  in  the  state. 
There  are  in  New  Jersey  18  banks, 
There  are  colleges  and  theological 
seminaries  at  Princeton  and  New 
Brunswick,  and  academies  at  vari- 
ous places.  This  state  has  a  schoo! 
fund  which  amounted,  in  October 
IP29,  to  $245.404  47,  which  ia  all  in 
productive  stocks,  yielding  an  in

NEW  ORLEANS,  city,  port  of  en 
try,  and  capital  of  Louisiana,  stands 
on  the  left  bank  of  the  Mississippi 
river,  105  in.  abovo  its  mouth.  The 
city  proper  contains  six  complete 
squares,  each  having  a  front  of  319 
feet  in  length.  Each  square  is  di- 
vided into  12  lots.  Many  of  the 
streets  do  not  exceed  40  feet  in 
width.  The  public  buildings  are  a 
town-house,  hospital,  the  Cathedral 
church  of  St.  Louis,  the  barracks, 
ustom-house,  market-house,  five 
janks,  and  two  theatres,  one  for 
French,  and  the  other  for  American

actors.  There  is  also  a  convent  of | 
Ursuline  nuns.  The  Spanish  and 
French  modes  of  building  prevail, 
and  most  of  the  houses  are  finished 
outside  with  stucco,  which  gives 
the  city  rather  a  fantastic  appear-) 
ance  to  a  stranger.  The  ground  on 
which  it  stands,  is  lower  than  the| 
surface  of  the  river,  which  is  con-j 
fined  within  its  channel  by  an  ar- 
tificial bank  called  the  levee,  which 
was  raised  at  great  expense,  and' 
extends  50  miles.  The  land  is  soi 


make  this  amount,  are  sugar  and 
cotton,  its  advantages  of  commu- 
nication with  the  country,  imme- 
diately adjacent  to  it,  have  been 
overlooked,  in  comparison  with 
those  of  its  relation  to  the  upper 
country.  But  even  in  these  re- 
spects it  is  unrivalled.  By  the  ba- 
sin of  the  canal,  and  the  Bayou  St. 
John,  it  communicates  with  Lake 
Poncnartrain,  and  the  connected 
lakes;  with  the  opposite  Florida 
shore,  with  Mobile,  Pensacola,  and 


spongy  that  the  houses  are  neces-  the    whole  Gulf  shore,    east  and 


sarily  without  cellars.  It  is  very 
advantageously  situated  for  com- 
merce, the  Mississippi  and  its  nu 


[west.  Not  a  few  vessels  clear  from 
the  basin  for  the  Atlantic  and  Mex- 
ican ports.  The  basin  is  scarcely 


merous  branches  wafting  to  it  thej  distant  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from 
productions  of  a  fertile  country  of  the  ship  landing  on  the  Mississippi, 
more  than  2,000  miles  in  extent.  It!  A  person  on  the  basin  wharf  can 
is  already  one  of  the  most  import-jisee  the  masts  of  the  vessels,  lying 
ant  commercial  ports  in  America, | Jon  the  shore  of  the  levee,  and  yet 
and  is  probably  destined  to  become. I  ja  vessel  sailing  from  the  basin, 


at  no  distant  period,  the  rival  of 
the  first  in  Europe.  The  harbor, 
presents  an  area  of  many  acres. 


would  have  to  sail  through  the 
lakes  along  the  Gulf  shore,  and  up 
the  Mississippi,  some  hundreds  of 


covered  with  all  tho  grotesque  va-ljmiles,  to  arrive  at  so  little  distance 
riety  of  flat-boats,  keel-boats,  andj|from  her  former  position.  Even 
water  craft  of  every  description, -the  commerce  and  shipping  of  the 


that  have  floated  from  all  points  of 
the  valley  above.  Sloops,  schooners, 
brigs,  and  ships  occupy  the  wharves, 
arranged  below  each  other,  in  the| 
order  of  their  sixe,  showing  a  for-i 
est  of  masts.  The  foreign  aspect! 
of  the  stuccoed  houses  in  the  city 
proper,  the  massive  buildings  of  thej 
Fauxbourg  St.  Mary,  the  bustle  and 
movement  on  every  side,  all  seen 
at  one  view,  present  a  splendid 
spectacle.  There  have  been  count- 
ed in  the  harbor,  1,500  flat-boats  at 
a  time.  Steam-boats  are  coming 
and  departing  every  hour;  and  50: 
are  frequently  seen  lying  in  the 
harbor  at  a  time.  There  are  often 
5  or  6,000  boatmen  from  the  upper 
country  here ;  and  it  is  not  uncom- 
mon to  see  40  vessels  advertised  for 
Liverpool  and  Havre.  No  place  in 
the  United  States  has  so  much  ac- 
tivity and  bustle  of  commerce, 
crowded  into  so  small  a  space,  in 
the  months  of  February  and  March., 
The  amount  of  domestic  exports 
from  this  city  exceeds  12  millions 
of  dollars  a  year,  being  greater  than 
that  of  any  other  city  of  the  Union, 
except  New  York,  and  nearly  equal 


basin  would-  be  sufficient  for  the 
upport  of  a  considerable  city. 
JThere  is  an  incorporation,  to  con- 
nect the  lake  with  the  Mississippi 
by  a  canal,  directly  from  the  one  to 
the  other.  A  most  necessary  and 
important,  canal  is  also  contem- 
plated, for  connecting  Attakapas 
with  the  city.  A  rail-road  4|  m.  in 
length,  from  the  city  to  Lake  Pon- 
chartrain,  has  been  recently  open- 
ed. It  is  perfectly  straight,  and  va- 
ries only  16  inches  from  a  dead 
level  from  end  to  end.  No  city  in 
the  United  States  contains  such  a 
variety  of  inhabitants  from  every 
state  in  the  Union,  and  from  every 
nation  in  Europe;  and  there  are 
not  a  few  from  the  Spanish  coun- 
try, and  the  islands.  There  is  an 
astonishing  contrast  of  manners, 
language,  and  complexion.  One- 
half  the  population  is  black  or 
colored.  The  French  population 
probably  as  yet  predominates  over 
the  American.  Among  the  Ameri- 
cans, the  inhabitants  of  the  city  of 
New  York  seem  to  have  the  greater 
number,  and  New  Orleans  has  more 
intercourse  with  New  York  than 


at. 


The  greatest  items  that]  any  other  American  city.    The  ir»-

tercourse  with  Havana  and  Vera 
Cruz  is  great,  and  constantly  in 
creasing.  The  college  is  a  respect 
able  building,  and  has  ample  en 
dowments,  but  has,  as  yet,  done 
little  for  the  literature  of  the  coun- 
try. There  are  a  number  of  chari- 
table institutions  in  this  city,  of 
respectable  character ;  and  when 
the  epidemic  yellow  fever  visits  it, 
the  manner  in  which  the  inhabit- 
ants bestow  charity,  nursing,  shel- 
ter, and  medical  aid  to  the  sick,  is 
worthy  of  all  praise.  A  library, 
for  the  use  of  the  poorer  reading 
young  men  of  the  city,  has  been  in- 
stituted; and  in  the  extent  of  her 
efficient  and  useful  charities,  New 
Orleans  is  not  far  behind  her  At- 
lantic sisters.  There  are  fewer 
churches  in  the  city,  than  in  any 
other  town  of  the  same  size  in  the 
United  States.  There  are  but  three 
Catholic  places  of  worship,  one 
Presbyterian,  one  Rpiscopalian,  a 
Mariners'  church,  a  Baptist  and  a 
Methodist  place  of  worship.  Very 
little  observance  of  the  Sabbath. 
as  northern  people  estimate  it,  is 
seen  in  this  city.  It  is  well  known, 
that  the  forms  of  the  Catholic  wor- 
ship do  not  forbid  amusements  on 
the  Sabbath.  The  city  and  Faux- 
bourgs (suburbs) contained, in  1830, 
46,310  inhabitants.  It  is  about

The  Erie  Canal,  which  forms  a 
communication  between  the  Hud- 
son and  lake  Erie,  extending  from 
Albany  to  Buffalo,  is  the  most 
magnificent  work  of  the  kind  in 
America,  and  is  much  longer  than 
any  canal  in  Europe.  The  Cham- 
plain  Canal,  which  forms  a  commu- 
nication between  the  Hudson  and 
lake  Champlain,  is  63  miles  long, 
and  extends  from  Whitehall  to 
Watervliet,  where  it  unites  with 
the  Erie  Canal.  The  Oswego  Canal 
extends  from  Oswego  to  Salina,  38 
miles,  and  unites  lake  Ontario  with 
the  Erie  Canal.  The  Delaware  and 
Hudson  Canal,  formed  by  the  Dela- 
ware arid  Hudson  Canal  Company, 
extends  from  the  Hudson  to  the 
Delaware,  (i()  miles;  thence  up  the 
Delaware,  22  miles;  thence  up  the 
valley  of  theLackawaxen  to  Hones- 
dale,  24  miles;  total  length,  108 
miles;  average  cost,  about  $'5,00(1 
a  mile.  The  debt  on  account  of 
canals,  on  the  1st  of  January,  1832 
was  8,055,645  dollars.  The  follow

part  of  the  state  of  New  York,  is 
really  diversified  ;  there  are  some 
evel  tracts ;  but  the  greater  part  is 
lilly,  or  mountainous.  The  Cats- 
kill  mountains  are  the  principal 
range  in  the  state.  There  are  numer 
ous  summits  west  of  Lake  Cham- 
plain,  the  highest  of  which  is  esti- 
nated  at  nearly  3,000  feet  above  the 
ake.  The  western  part  of  the  state 
is  mostly  a  level,  or  moderately 
ineven  country ;  but  towards  the 
Pennsylvania  line,  it  becomes  hilly 
and  broken.  There  were  in  thir

borders  of  Onondaga  lake  there  are 
valuable  saline  springs,  which  are 
the  property  of  the  state,  and  from 
which  salt,  in  large  quantities,  is 
manufactured.  The  water  yields 
salt  at  the  rate  of  one  bushel  to  45 
gallons.  The  salt  is  made  at  the 
villages  of  Salina.  Syracuse,  Liver-

tenango;  the  Albany  Academy,  and 
about  50  other  academies.  The 
settlement  of  this  state  was  com- 
menced by  the  Dutch,  in  1614,  who 
named  the  country  New  Nether- 
land?,  and  established  a  colonial 
government  in  1629.  In  1664, 
Charles  II.  of  England  granted  to 
his  brother,  the  duke  of  York,  a 
patent  for  a  large  tract  of  country, 
funning  the  present  states  of  New 
York  and  New  Jersey;  and  during 
the  same  year,  colonel  Nicolls,  with 
a  considerable  force,  in  the  service 
of  the  duke,  made  a  conquest  of  the 
country;  and  the  name  of  New 
Netherlands  was  afterwards  chang- 
"d  into  New  York.  In  1673,  the  col- 
ony was  recaptured  by  the  Dutch, 
and  held  by  them  a  few  months ;  but, 
with  the  exception  of  this  short  pe- 
riod, it  was  in  the  possession  of  the 
English  from  16G4  till  the  American 
Revolution,  in  1775.  The  govern- 
or's annual  salary  is  $4,000.  This 
state  sends  40  representatives  to

NIAGARA,  r.  in  N.  America,  which 
carries  the  surplus  waters  of  Lakes 
Superior,  Michigan,  Huron,  and 
Erie,  into  Lake  Ontario.  Its  gene- 
ral course  from  Lake  Erie  to  Lake 
Ontario  is  N.  For  the  first  2  miles 
its  current  is  rapid — it  then  be- 
comes smooth  and  gentle,  with  a 
width  varying  from  half  a  mile  to 
a  mile  and  a  half,  and  flows  7  in.  to 
Grand  Isle,  where  it  divides  into 
two  large  branches,  which  unite 
again  at  the  foot  of  this  island 
(which  is  18  m.  long)  3  miles  above 
the  Great  Falls.  Its  width  here  is 
pwards  of  a  mile ;  but  now  its 
breadth  gradually  diminishing  as 
'ts  velocity  increases,  it  becomes 
reduced  to  $  of  a  mile  in  width, 
when  its  waters  are  poured  down  a 
precipice  of  160  feet  perpendicular, 
accompanied  with  a  tremendous 
roar,  which  is  heard  at  the  distance 
of  fifteen  miles.  There  is  a  small 
island  in  the  river  just  above  the 
brink  of  the  falls,  which  divides 
the  stream  into  two  parts,  but  they 
unite  long  before  they  reach  the 
bed  of  the  river  below.  This  river, 

hichis  the  boundary  line  between 
N.  Y.  and  Upper  Canada,  is  35  m.

in  length.  This  stupendous  cata- 
ract is  justly  regarded  as  one  of 
the  most  sublime  and  imposing 
spectacles  exhibited  in  nature.  It 
may  well  be  supposed  that  so  mag- 
nificent a  spectacle  should  attract 
thousands  of  visitors.  It  has  be- 
come a  place  of  great  fashionable 
resort ;  and  during  the  summer 
months,  it  is  thronged  with  visitors 
from  every  quarter  of  the  civilize 
world.  It  may  appear  singular,  yet 
it  is  affirmed  to  be  true,  that  some 
persons  have  lived  and  grown  ol 
within  hearing  of  the  roar  of  these 
falls  without  ever  having  seei 
them,  while  many  have  made  jour 
neys  of  thousands  of  miles  for  the 
purpose,  and  thought  themselves 
richly  rewarded  for  their  curiosity.

OHIO,  r.  U.  S.,  formed  by  the  union 
of  the  Alleghany  and  Monongahela. 
at  Pittsburg,  Pa.  It  separates  Vir- 
ginia and  Kentucky  on  the  S.  from 
the  states  of  Ohio  arid  Indiana,  and 
the  Illinois  territory,  on  the  N.,  and, 
after  a  WSW.  course  of  94'.l  in.  joins 
the  Mississippi,  ]93  m.  below  the 
Missouri,  in  Ion.  88°  58'  W.,  lat. 
37'  N.  The  Ohio,  from  its  com- 
mencement, affords  most  delightful 
prospects.  Rivers  of  romantic  and 
beautiful  character  come  in,  almost 
at  equal  distances,  as  lateral  canals. 
Its  bottoms  are  of  extraordinary 
depth  and  fertility;  generally  hiirh 
and  dry,  and  for  the  most  part 
healthy ;  while  the  configuration  of 
the  country  on  the  banks  has  all 
that  grandeur,  softness,  or  variety, 
still  changing  and  recurring  in  such 
combinations  as  are  requisite  to 
deslroy  a  monotonous  effect.  For 
thirty  miles  below  Pittsburg  its 
course  is  NW.  It  then  slowly  turns 
to  the  WSW.  and  pursues  that 
general  direction  500  m.  Thence 


SW.  170  m.  Thence  W.  280  miles. 
Thence  SW.  170  miles,  through  that 
low  and  swampy  country,  in  which 

t  finds  the  Mississippi.  Between 
Pittsburg  and  the  mouth,  it  is  diver- 
fied  with  100  considerable  islands, 
besides  a  greater  number  of  tow- 
heads  and  sand-bars,  which  in  low 
stages  of  the  water  greatly  impede 

avigation.  Some  of  these  islands 
are  of  exquisite  beauty,  and  afford 
most  lovely  situations  f>r  retired 
farms.  The  passages between  them, 
and  the  sand-bars  at  their  head,  are 
among  the  difficulties  of  the  naviga- 
tion of  this  river.  The  Ohio  at 
Pittsburg  is  COO  yards  wide.  At 
Cincinnati,  which  may  be  consider- 
ed its  mean  width,  it  is  not  much 

nore.  Below  the  Cumberland,  its 
average  width  is  1,000  yards.  Its 
valley  is  deep,  and  heavily  timbered, 
and  has  nowhere  the  slightest  indi- 
cation of  prairie.  It  varies  from  2 
to  10  m.  in  width.  It  is  bounded  in 

ts  whole  course  by  bluffs,  some- 
times towering  sublimely  from  the 
shores  of  the  river,  and  sometimes 
receding  2  or  3  miles.  Beyond  the 
immediate  verge  of  the  bottom  is  a 
singular  line  of  hills,  more  or  Jess 
precipitous,  stretching  from  5  to  10 
m.  from  the  banks.  They  are  known 
the  Ohio  by  the  familiar  appella- 
tion of  the  '  Ohio  hills.'  Different 
estimates  have  been  made  of  the 
rapidity  of  its  current.  This  rapid- 

ty  being  continually  varying,  it 
would  be  difficult  to  assign  any 
very  exact  estimate.  It  is  found, 
according  to  the  different  stages  of 
the  water,  to  vary  between  1  and  3 
miles.  In  the  lowest  stages  of  the 

vater  in  the  autumn,  a  floating 
substance  would  probably  not  ad- 
vance a  mile  an  hour.  It  is  subject 
to  extreme  elevations  and  depres- 
sions. The  average  range  between 
nigh  and  low  water,  is  fifty  feet. 
Its  lowest  stage  is  in  September; 
and  its  highest  in  March.  But  it  is 
subject  to  sudden  and  very  conside- 
rable rises  through  the  year.  It  has 
been  known  to  rise  12  feet  in  a 
night.  When  these  sudden  eleva- 
tions take  place,  at  the  breaking  up 
of  the  ice,  a  scene  of  desolation 

ometimes  occurs;  and  boats  and 
every  thing  in  its  course  are  carried 
away  by  the  accumulated  power  of 


O  H  I— O  H  1 


the  ice  and  the  water.  Its  average 
descent  in  a  mile,  is  not  far  from 
six  inches.  At  Cincinnati,  the  sur 
face  of  the  rher  at  low  water,  i 
supposed  to.  be  i:>0  feet  below  the 
level  of  Lake  Erie,  and  4::t)  above 
that  of  the  tide-wat  T  of  the  Allan 
tic.  Between  Pittsbin:  and  th 
mouth,  it  makes  three  a,,d  a  half 
degrees  ofsouthiiiir  in  latitude.  Th 
average  time  cf  the  s.isp,  nsjon  of 
its  navigation  In  ice,  isiiv.'  u-  rks. 
One-half  of  the  remainder  of  th' 
year,  on  an  average,  it  is  navisrahle 
by  large  iteam-boata  in  its  who!,- 
course.  The  other  half,  it  can  be 
navigated  easily  only  bv  steam 
boats  of  a  small  dra'ft  of  water 
Since  the  Louisville  and  Portland 
canal  has  been  completed,  steam- 
boats of  small  draft  can  descend  at 
all  times  from  Pittsb.trg  to  the  Mis 
sissippi.  Flat  and  keel-boats  de- 
scend the  river  at  all  seasons  ;  but 
in  periods  of  low  water,  with  fre- 
quent groundings  on  the  sand-bars 
and  the  necessity  of  often  unloading 
to  get  the  boat  off.  It  would  " 
difficult  to  decide  when  the  Ohio 
has  the  most  beautifil  appearance 
—in  the  spring,  when  it  rolls  alonj 
between  fall  banks,  or  in  the  au 
tumn,  when  between  the  ripples  i 
is  calm  and  still,  with  broad  and 
clean  sand-bars  ;  or  in  the  ripples 
where  its  transparent  waters  elide 
rapidly  over  the  pebbly  and  sholly 
bottom,  showing  every  thing  as 
through  the  transparency  of  air 
The  Ohio,  and  all  its  tributaries 
cannot  have  less  than  5.000  miles 
of  boatable  water;  and  taking  al 
circumstanced  into  consideration, 
few  rivers  in  the  world  can  vie  with 
it  either  in  utility  or  beauty 

The  following  table  of  distances  is 
taken  from  Dr.  Drake  ;  the  distance? 
are  founded  on  the  surveys  made

The  rivers  which  flow  into  Lak 


Erie  on  the  north,  are  Maumee 
Sandusky,  Huron,  Vermilion,  Black 
Cuyahoga,  Grand,  and  Ashtabtila 
those  in  the  south  flowing  into  the 
Ohio,  are  the  Muskingum,  Hock 
hocking,  Little  and  Great  Miami 
The  Au-Glaize  and  St.  Mary's  in 
the  western  part  of  the  state,  are 
branches  of  the  Maumee.  Wheat 
is  the  staple  of  the  state.  Other 
sorts  of  grain,  various  kindsof  fruit, 
grass,  hemp,  and  flax,  are  exten- 
sively cultivated.  From  70  to  100 
bushels  of  Indian  corn,  it  is  said, 
have,  in  many  instances,  been  pro- 
duced in  a  year  from  one  acre.  Coal

is  found  in  great  quantities  in  the 
eastern  parts.  Iron  ore  has  been 
discovered  and  wrought  pretty  ex- 
tensively in  several  places,  particu- 
larly on  the  south  of  Licking  river, 
miles  west  of  Zanesville,  on 
Brush  creek,  and  in  some  other 
places.  Salt  springs  are  found  on 

ome  of  the  eastern  waters  of  Mus- 
kingutn,  and  on  Salt  creek,  28  miles 

outh-east  from  Chillicothe,  where 
there  are  considerable  salt  works. 
Ohio  takes  the  lead  among  the 
western  states  with  regard  to  man- 
ufactures. Some  of  the  most  im- 
portant manufacturing  towns  are 

Cincinnati,  Zanesville,  Steuben- 
ville,  and  Chillicothe.  The  exports 

rom  this  state  consist  of  flour,  corn, 
hemp,  flax,  beef,  pork,  smoked  hams 
of  venison,  whisky,  peach-brandy, 
and  lumber.  More  than  half  of  the 
exports  go  to  New  Orleans;  but 

nuch  is  sent  to  New  York  and 
other  Atlantic  cities.  The  Ohio 
Canal  forms  a  communication  be- 
tween the  river  Ohio,  at  Ports- 
mouth, and  Lake  Erie,  at  Cleve- 

and,  320  miles  in  length.  The 
Miami  Canal,  which  is  completed 
from  Cincinnati  to  Dayton,  65  m., 
has  22  locks,  and  cost  $746,000,  about 
$11,000  a  mile.  It  extends  through 
the  richest  portion  of  the  state,  and 
is  the  channel  of  an  extensive  trade. 
The  bank  of  the  United  States  has 
an  office  of  discount  and  deposit  at 
Cincinnati.  The  principal  literary 
seminaries  in  this  state  are  the 
University  of  Ohio,  at  Athens ; 
Miami  University,  at  Oxford ;  West- 

rn  Reserve  College,  at  Hudson  ; 
Kenyon  College,  at  Gambier  ;  and 
the  Medical  College  of  Ohio,  at 


Cincinnati.  The  number  of  periodi- 
cal papers,  in  1831,  was  estimated, 
at  150.  The  first  permanent  settle- 
nent  of  Ohio  was  commenced  at 
Marietta,  in  1788;  in  1789,  the  coun- 
try was  put  under  a  territorial  go- 
vernment, and  called  the  Western 
Territory, -which  name  was  after- 
wards altered  to  the  Territory  north- 
west of  the  Ohio;  and  in  1802,  it  was 
erected  into  an  independent  state.

ntersected  by  various  mountains. 
The  principal  ridges  of  the  Allegha- 
ny mountains,  comprehended  in 
Pennsylvania,  are  the  Kittatinny, 
or  the  Blue  mountains.  The  soil 
of  Pennsylvania  is  various ;  a  small 
part  of  it  is  barren,  but  a  great  pro- 
portion of  it  fertile,  and  a  consider- 
able part  very  excellent.  It  is 
generally  better  adapted  to  tillage 
than  grazing;  and  much  of  it,  partic- 
ularly the  south-east  part,  is  under 
excellent  cultivation.  The  two  best 
tracts  of  land  are,  one  in  the  south- 

ast  part,  along  the  Susquehannah, 
the  other  in  the  north-west  part, 
between  Lake  Erie  and  Alleghany 
river.  Wheat  is  the  most  impor- 
tant article  of  produce.  The  next 
in  value  is  Indian  corn.  Buck- 
wheat, rye,  barley,  oats,  flax,  hemp, 
beans,  peas,  and  potatoes,  arc 
extensively  cultivated.  Cherries, 
peaches,  apples,  and  cider,  are  abun- 
dant. There  are  large  dairies  in 
many  parts.  Iron  ore  is  distributed 
in  large  quantities  in  many  parts 
of  the  state ;  and  in  some  places 
copper,  lead,  and  alum,  are  found. 
Here  are  also  numerous  limestone 
quarries,  and  various  kinds  of  mar- 
ble ;  and  in  the  middle  and  western 
parts  there  is  an  abundance  of 
coal.  The  general  style  of  architec- 
ture in  this  state  is  neat  and  solid. 
Stone  buildings  are  most  common 
in  old  settlements;  brick  houses  are 
frequent;  log  and  frame  houset 
abound  in  the  new  country.  In  the 
towns  there  is  a  considerable  pro- 
portion of  brick  houses.  Many 
turnpike  roads  of  the  most  durable 
material*,  and  best  construction.

the  other  states  in  the  variety  and 
extent  of  her  manufactures,  some 
of  which  are  of  superior  excellence. 
In  1832  there  were  67  cotton  man-

into  view,  in  the  United  States, 
Among  all  the  extensive  branches 
for  which  it  is  famous,  paper,  print 
ing,  and  publishing  are  important 
items.  A  great  number  of  gazettes, 
periodicals,  and  monthlies  are  is 
sued;  and  one  quarterly  critical 
and  another  quarterly  medical 
journal.  This  city  vies  with  Bo 
ton  in  the  number  and  extent  of  its 
school  and  classical  books.  It  has  a 
reputation  also  for  the  extent  and 
excellence  of  its  breweries.  Its 
literary,  philosophical,  and  humane 
institutions  are  worthy  of  all  praise. 
The  Philadelphia  library  owes  its 
origin  to  the  illustrious  Franklin. 
It  contains  a  museum,  a  philosoph- 
ical apparatus,  the  Philadelphia 
Library,  and  the  Loganian  Library, 
amounting  in  all  to  42,OOU  volumes. 
The  American  Philosophical  Socie- 
ty, the  Philadelphia  Society  for 
Promoting  Agriculture,  the  Athc- 
nsum,  and  the  Academy  of  Natural 
Sciences,  are  all  important  institu- 
tions, and  have  libraries  and  collec- 
tions. The  Friends'  Library  con- 
tains a  respectable  collection,  and 
the  Friends'  Common  School  Insti- 
tution is  an  important  and  an  effi- 
cient one.  There  are  among  the 
literary  institutions,  great  numbers 
of  Lancasterian,  Sunday  and  In- 
fant schools.  Among  the  humane 
institutions  is  one  for  the  deaf  and 
dumb.  One  of  the  noblest  estab- 
lishments in  this  or  any  other  state 
is  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital.  It 
extends  a  front  of  273  feet,  and  has 
a  large  building  connected  with  it, 
sufficient  to  contain  50  or  60  pa- 
tients. Appended  to  it  is  a  beauti- 
ful garden.  There  are  admirable 
arrangements  for  every  thing  ap-

street  has  a  marble  front.  The 
Masonic  Hall,  a  little  farther  on,  is 
in  the  Gothic  style.  The  Academy 
of  Arts  is  in  Chesnut  street  be- 
tween Tenth  and  Eleventh.  Among 
the  statues  are  the  Three  Graces  of 
Canova,  and  a  gallery  of  pictures 
principally  the  works  of  American 
artists.  The  Mint  of  the  United 
States  is  in  Philadelphia,  and  the 
building  forms  an  important  addi- 
tion to  the  public  edifices  :  it  fronts 
on  Chesnut  near  Broad  street,  and 
is  built  entirely  of  white  marble. 
The  amount  coined  annually  varies 
from  two  and  a  half  to  three  million 
dollars.  The  Schuylkill  Water- 
Works  are  a  splendid  establishment, 
and  noted  especially  for  the  rich 
and  varied  prospect  enjoyed  from 
them.  The  building  in  which  the 
machinery  is  contained  is  a  hand- 
some one,  and  the  machinery  is 
capable  of  raising  7  million  gallons 
of  water  in  24  hours.  The  wheels 
are  driven  by  a  current  from  a  dam 
above.  The  reservoirs  are  on  a 
hill,  higher  than  any  part  of  the 
city.  The  pipes  extend  34  or  35  m. 
This  grand  work  abundantly  re- 
pays the  inspection.  Pratt's  Gar- 
len,  in  full  view  of  the  Water- 
Works,  is  a  charming  place,  and 
well  worthy  to  be  visited.  The 
Penitentiary  has  the  aspect  of  a 
fortress.  The  wall  is  of  granite,  40 
feet  high,  and  incloses  a  square  650 
feet  each  way.  The  Navy  Hospital, 
2  m.  SW.  of  the  centre  of  the  city, 
has  a  front  of  386  feet,  and  is  3 
stories  high.  It  is  built  partly  of 
granite  and  partly  of  marble.  The 
Navy  Yard  is  of  great  extent,  and 
fitted  up  with  first-rate  appurten- 
ances for  building  frigates  and  ships 
of  the  line.  The  Pennsylvania, 
building  here,  it  is  said,  will  be  the 
argest  ship  in  the  world,  and  is  to

on  th?  W.  about  40;)  miles  above 
New  Orleans.  It  takes  its  rise  in 
a  chain,  of  hills  near  Santa  F<J,  in 
New  Mexico,  called,  we  know  not 
by  what  authority,  the  Oaous 
Mountains.  In  its  nppr-r  courses

Washita.  It  win  Is  thro  ugh  a  regior 
of  prairies,  on  which  f>ed  droves  of 
buffaloes,  cattle,  and  wild  horses. 
In  these  regions  it  receives  a  grea 
many  considerable  tributaries,  th 
names  of  which  have  not  yet  beei 
£iven.  Through  the  greater  part  of 
its  course,  Red  river  winds  through

ered  with  grass,  and  vines  that  b^ar

thing more  than  a  broad  swampy 
expansion  of  the  alluvion  of  the 
river,  to  the  width  of  20  or  30  miles. 
The  river  spreading  here  into  a  vast 
number  of  channels,  frequently 
shallow,  of  course,  has  been  for 
ages  closing  with  a  compact  mass 
cif  timber,  and  fallen  trees,  wafted 
from  the  upper  regions.  Between 


RED 

these  masses  the  river  has  a  chan 
nel,  sometimes  lost  in  a  lake,  a»w* 
found  by  following  the  outlet  of 
that  lake  back  to  the  parent  chan- 
nel. There  is  no  stage  of  tlve 
water,  in  which  a  keel-boat,  with 
an  experienced  pilot,  may  not  make 
its  way  through  the  raft.  We  have 
seen  a  considerable  steam-boat, 
which  was  built  above  the  raft,  and 
floated  through  it  in  an  unfinished 
state.  The  river  is  blocked  up  by 
this  immense  mass  of  timber  for  a 
length,  by  its  meanders,  of  between 

.0  and  70  miles.  There  are  places 
where  the  water  can  be  seen  in  mo- 
tion under  the  logs.  In  other  places, 
the  whole  width  of  the  river  may 
b,j  crossed  on  horseback,  and  boats 
only  make  their  way,  in  passing 
those  places,  by  following  the  inlet 

f  a  lake,  and  coasting  it  to  its  out- 
let, and  this  finding  the  channel 
again.  Weeds,  flowering  shrufx?, 
and  small  willows,  have  taken  root 

pon  ths  surface  of  this  timber,  and 
flourish  above  the  waters.  But  in 
all  these  places  the  courses  of  the 
river,  its  outline,  and  its  bends,  are 

listinctly  marked  by  a  margin  of 
forest  trees,  which  grow  here  on  tho 
hanks  in  the  same  manner  as  they 

I"  whr:re  the  channels  opan    It  is  an 

mpediment  of  incalculable  injury 
to  the  navigation  of  this  noble  riv- 

r,  and  the  immense  extent  of  fine 
country  above  it.  There  is,  proba- 
bly, no  part  of  the  United  States 
wh ''re  the  unoccupied  lands  have 
higher  claims,  from  soil,  climate, 
"atermixtnre  of  prairies  arid  tim- 
bered lands,  position,  and  every  in- 
lucement  to  population,  than  the 
country  between  the  Raft  and  Ki- 
michie.  This  country  would  br>  set- 
tled with  great  rapidity,  were  it  not 
for  the  obstruction  which  this  raft 

pposes  to   tha  navigation   of  the 

iver.  The  state  has  made  an  effort 
to  have  it  removed.  Accurate  sur- 
veys of  it  have  been  made,  and  the 
general  government  has  made  an 
appropriation  for  this  purpose.  The 
river  above  the  raft  becomes  broad, 
^ieep,  and  navigable  for  steam-boats, 
in  moderate  stages  of  the  water, 
1.000  miles  towards  the  mountains.

pleasant,  and  healthy.  The  ground 
on  which  it  stands  rises  gradually 
from  the  first  to  the  second  bank. 
Three  streets  run  parallel  with  the 
river,  and  are  intersected  by  a  num- 
ber of  others  at  right  angles.  The 
town  extends  along  the  river  about 
2  miles.  Most  of  the  houses  that 
have  been  added  within  the  last  ten 
years,  have  been  of  brick  or  stone. 
Some  of  the  public  buildings  are 
handsome.  There  are  two  respect- 
able Protestant  churches.  The 
Catholic  cathedral  was  intended  to 
be  a  magnificent  structure;  it  is 
not  yet  completed.  A  spacious  town  - 
house  is  a  great  ornament  to  the 
city.  The  town  has  extended  itself 
along  the  hill,  and  some  of  the  best 
houses  are  on  that  delightful  eleva- 
tion. The  houses,  in  1820,  were 
reckoned  at  more  than  COO.  By  the 
census  of  1830,  it  contained  2,503 
free  males ;  1,889  free  females ;  1,668 
slaves;  287  free  persons  of  color, 
Total,  6,694.  The  town  was  then 
stationary,  or  perhaps  retrograde 
But  since  that  time  the  lead  busi 
ness  has  been  reanimated  by  a  pro 
tecting  duty  upon  foreign  lead.  The 
fur  trade  has  received  a  new  im 
pulse.  The  town  has  recovered  frorr 
the  shock  caused  by  the  failure  of 
its  banks.  Ithas  at  present,  a  brand 
of  the  U.  States  bank.  A  health; 
circulation  has  been  restored,  an 
the  town  is  now  rapidly  increasing 
in  business  and  population.  In  the 
year  1818,  100  houses  were  added  tr 
the  place.  Three  or  four  gazette 
are  printed  here.  The  passage  t< 
New  Orleans  is  1,200  .miles  by  tin

is  chiefly  built  upon  a  neck  of  land 
formed  by  two  inlets  from  the  sea, 
called  North  and  South  rivers,  over 
the  former  of  which  is  a  bridge,  up- 
wards of  1,500  feet  long,  connect- 
ing Salem  with  Beverly,  and  the

bor  has  good  anchorage,  but  the 
water  is  so  shallow,  that  vessels 
drawing  more  than  12  or  14  feet 
must  be  lightened  at  a  distance 
from  the  wharves.  The  situation 
of  Salem  is  low,  but  pleasant  and

the  U.  States  to  enter  into  the  East 
India  trade.  Though  the  town  is 
not  very  regularly  laid  out,  and  has 
narrow  streets,  the  neat  and  com-

gustine.  Lat.  3QO  27'  N.,  Ion.  fron 
W.  7°  13'  W.  The  reasons  whicl 
determined  the  governor  and  com 
missioners  to  fix  on  this  place  ai 
the  metropolis,  were  its  centra 
position,  fertility  of  soil,  and  th< 
reputation  it  had  acquired  among 
the  Spaniards  and  Indians,  of  being 
uncommonly  salubrious.  The  posi 
tion  was  fixed  on  as  the  seat  ol 
government  in  1824.  It  was  clivid 
ed  into  lots,  and  sold  in  1825.  Fiv< 
squares  have  been  reserved  for  th< 
purpose  of  public  buildings.  The 
precincts  of  the  town  encircle  a 
beautifully  undulating  country.  I 
was  immediately  incorporated  as  a 
city.  In  two  years  from  the  firs 
buildings,  the  number  of  whites  am 
blacks  was  supposed  to  amount  U 
800.  Some  respectable  houses  were 
built,  but  the  principal  part  of  th 
habitations  are  temporary  log 
buildings.  The  forest  is  falling  on 
all  sides,  and  is  daily  acquiring 
more  and  more  the  appnarance  of  a 
town.  The  amount  of  the  sales  of 
the  lots  was  $24,000.  That  sum 
was  appropriated  for  the  erectior 
of  a  territorial  capital.  The  mate 
rials  for  building  are  good  and 
abundant.  There  are  already  a 
number  of  stores,  taverns  and  shops 
of  all  the  customary  mechanics, 


TAP 

with  a  full  proportion  of  lawyers

UNITED  STATES  OF  NORTH  AMERICA. 

THE  territory  of  the  United  States  embraces  the  middle  division  of 
North  America,  extending  from  the  Atlantic  ocean  on  the  east  to  the 

Extent,  Pacific  on  the  west.  Its  extreme  length  from  the  Pacific  ocean 
boundaries,  to  Passamaquoddy  Bay,  is  3,000  miles ;  its  greatest  breadth, 
&c-  from  the  southern  point  of  Florida,  to  the  Lake  of  the  Woods, 
is  estimated  to  be  about  1,700  miles.  On  the  north-east,  a  conven- 
tional line  divides  it  from  New  Brunswick,  extending  from  Passama- 
quoddy  Bay  northward  to  the  48th  parallel,  embracing  the  head  waters 
of  the  river  St.  John.  From  this  extreme  northern  point,  the  boundary 
line  passes  along  the  ridge  of  mountains  south-westward  to  the  45th 
parallel,  and  then  along  this  parallel  till  it  strikes  the  St.  Lawrence,  ]~J 
miles  below  Lake  Ontario.  It  then  follows  the  river  and  chain  of  lakes, 
Ontario,  Erie,  St.  Clair,  Huron,  and  Superior,  proceeding  from  the  la.^t 
by  the  course  of  the  river  La  Pluie,  or  Rainy  River,  to  the  Lake  of  the 
Woods,  whence  it  passes  along  the  4!»th  parallel  to  the  Rocky  Mountains. 

On  the  west  of  the  mountains,  the  Americans  have  an  unquestioned 
claim  to  the  country  from  the  42d  to  the  54th  parallel.  On  the  south, 
the  United  States  are  bounded  by  the  GufT75f  Mexico  ;  and  on  the  south- 
west, the  boundary  extends  from  the  mouth  of  the  river  Sabine,  in  a 
north-west  direction,  to  a  point  in  the  Rocky  Mountains,  in  north  lati- 
tude 420,  anii  west  longitude  108°,  from  which  it  passes  along  the  42.1 
parallel  to  the  Pacific  ocean. 

Mountains  Two  great  chains  of  mountains  traverse  the  territory  of 
the  United  States,  in  a  direction  approaching  to  south  and 
north:  the  Allegheny  on  the  east,  and  the  Rocky  Mountains  on  the 
west.  They  divide  the  country  into  an  eastern,  a  western,  and  a  mid- 
dle division,  the  latter  comprising  the  great  basin  or  valley  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi. For  a  particular  description  of  the  mountains,  see  the  article 
Alleghany,  &.c. 

Ukes and        The  two  largest  lakes  wholly  within   the  United  States 

rivers.       are  Michigan  and  Champlain.   Lakes  Superior,  Huron,  Erie, 

and  Ontario,  lie  one  half  in  this  country,  and  one  half  in  Upper  Canada. 

The  United  States  contain  many  large  and  navigable  rivers  ;  some  of 
the  principal  of  which  are  the  Connecticut,  Hudson,  Delaware,  Potomac, 
James,  Savannah,  Ohio,  Tennessee,  Mississippi,  Arkansas,  Red  River, 
and  the  Oregon  or  Columbia.  A  particular  description  of  the  lakes  and 
rivers  may  be  found  under  their  respective  heads. 

Climate  ^ne  c'i'liate  of  the  United  States  is  remarkably  inconstant. 
•and  variable.  It  passes  rapidly  from  the  frosts  of  Norway  to 
the  scorching  heats  of  Africa,  and  from  the  humidity  of  Holland  to  the 
drought  of  Castile.  A  change  of  20  or  2o  degrees  of  Fahrenheit,  in  one 
day,  is  not  considered  extraordinary.  Even  the  Indians  complain  of  the 
sudden  variations  of  temperature.  In  sweeping  over  a  vast  frozen  sur- 
face, the  north-west  wind  acquires  an  extreme  degree  of  cold  and  dry- 
ness,  and  operates  very  injuriously  on  the  human  frame.  The  south- 
east, on  the  other  hand,  produces  on  the  Atlantic  coast  effects  similar  to 
those  of  the  sirocco.  The  south-west  has  the  same  influence  in  the 
plains  to  the  east  of  the  Alleghanies :  when  it  blows,  the  heat  frequently 
becomes  painful  and  suffocating.  In  the  mountains,  however,  where  the 
summer  heat  is  moderate,  even  in  the  southern  states,  the  blooming 
complexion  of  young  persons  is  a  proof  of  the  purity  and  salubrity  of 
the  atmosphere.  The  same  ruddy  complexion  prevails  in  New  England 
and  in  the  interior  of  Pennsylvania;  but  the  pale  countenances  of  the 
inhabitants  of  all  the  low  country,  from  New  York  to  Florida,  remind 
a  stranger  of  the  Creoles  in  the  West  India  Islands.  In  this  region 
malignant  fevers  are  prevalent  in  September  and  October.  The  coun- 
tries situated  to  the  west  of  the  Allpsrlianie*  nre  in  genera!  more  temp*3

•ante  effect  is  produced  on  the  other  side  of  the  mountains  by  the  north- 
east wind.  But  the  north-east  wind,  which  covers  the  Atlantic  coast 
with  thick  fogs,  is  dry  and  elastic  on  the  banks  of  the  Ohio.  When  \\<: 
compare  the  climate  on  the  opposite  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  we  find  that 
the  extremes  of  temperature  are  greater,  and  that  the  winter's  cold  is 
more  severe  on  the  west  side  than  on  the  east.  The  mean  temperature 
of  the  year,  according  to  Humboldt,  is  9  degrees  (Fahr.)  lower  at  Phila- 
delphia than  in  the  corresponding  latitudes  on  the  coast  of  Europe.  The 
mouth  of  the  Delaware  is  generally  shut  by  ice  for  six  or  eight  weeks, 
and  that  of  the  St.  La \vence  for  five  months  in  the  year. 

In  a  country  having  so  inary  varieties  of  soil  and  climate  Agricultural 
as  the  United  States,  there  is  necessarily  a  considerable  di-  Production:, 
versity  in  the  agricultural  productions.  Maize,  or  Indian  corn,  is  culti 
vated  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  but  succeeds  best  in  the  middle  states. 
Wheat  is  also  raised  in  all  the  country,  but  thrives  best  in  the  middle 
and  western  states.  The  cultivation  of  tobacco  begins  in  Maryland  and 
Virginia.  Cotton  grows  as  far  north  as  39O,  but  its  cultivation  is  not 
profitable  beyond  the  latitude  of  37°.  This  useful  plant  was  first  raised 
for  exportation  only  in  1791.  It  is  now  produced  in  immense  quantities 
from  the  river  Roanoke  to  the  Mississippi,  and  forms  the  leading  export 
of  the  United  States.  The  rice  crops,  which  require  great  heat,  and  a 
soil  susceptible  of  irrigation,  commence  about  the  same  parallel,  and 
have  nearly  the  same  geographical  range.  The  sugar-cane  grows  in 
low  and  warm  situations,  as  high  as  latitude  33°;  but  the  climate  favor- 
able to  its  cultivation  does  not  extend  beyond  31£O.  Oats,  rye,  and 
barley,  are  raised  in  all  the  northern  and  middle  states :  in  the  western 
states  wheat,  hemp,  and  flax  are  the  staple  productions.  In  addition  to 
the  above,  buckwheat,  peas,  beans,  potatoes,  turnips,  &c.;  apples,  pears, 
cherries,  peaches,  grapes,  currants,  gooseberries,  plums,  &c.,  are  exten- 
sively cultivated  in  various  parts  of  the  country.  About  one  fifth  of 
all  the  inhabitants  of  the  United  States  are  engaged  in  agriculture.

406  UN  I— UN  I 

Minerals  Go\A  is  found  extensively  in  the  upper  country  of  North 
Carolina,  and  in  some  few  points  in  the  adjacent  parts  of  Vir- 
ginia, South  Carolina,  and  in  Georgia.  It  is  found  in  alluvial  deposits, 
and  has  been  lately  wrought  to  considerable  extent.  The  first  account 
of  gold  from  North  Carolina,  on  the  records  of  the  mint  of  the  United 
States,  occurs  in  1814,  in  which  year  it  was  received  to  the  amount  of 
$11,000.  It  continued  to  be  received  during  the  succeeding  years,  until 
1824  inclusive,  in  different  quantities,  but  less  than  that  of  1814,  and  on 
an  average  not  exceeding  $2, 500  a  year.  In  1825,  the  amount  received  was 
$17,000;  in  1828,  $20,000;  iii  1827,  $21,000;  in  182H,  $4i>,00l) ;  in  1829, 
$128,000,  and  in  1830,  $204,000.  Amount  of  gold  from  S.  Carolina  in  1830, 
was  $2o,000,  and  from  Georgia,  during  the  same  year,  $212,000.  Some 
of  the  ores  of  iron  are  found  in  almost  every  state;  and  mines  of  this 
metal  are  worked  in  New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Rhode  Island,  New 
York,  Connecticut,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Virginia,  and  North 
Carolina.  The  United  States  are  supplied  with  copper  chiefly  from 
Mexico  and  ottier  foreign  countries,  hut  ores  of  this  metal  exist  in  most 
of  the  states,  and  in  the  north-west  territory  are  said  to  be  in  great 
abundance,  in  situations  easy  of  access.  Lead  is  chiefly  procured  from 
Missouri,  and  Fever  River  in  Illinois.  Of  coal  there  is  a  large  field 
20  miles  long  by  ten  broad,  twelve  miles  from  Richmond,  which  has 
been  long  worked.  This  useful  mineral  is  also  found  at  various  places 
in  New  England,  New  York,  and  Pennsylvania.  But  the  most  abun- 
dant supply  is  on  the  west  side  of  the  Alleghanies.  Salt  is  chiefly  obtained 
from  tha  sea,  or  imported  into  the  eastern  states;  but  salt  springs  abound 
in  various  parts  of  the  United  States,  particularly  in  the  valley  of  the 
Mississippi,  from  the  Alleghanies  to  the  Rocky  Mountains;  and  in  some 
situations  on  the  western  side  of  the  valley,  plains  occur  of  many  miles 
in  Circuit,  which  are  periodically  covered  with  a  thick  crust  of  salt.  The 
salt  springs,  at,  Salina,  in  New  York,  are  extensively  worked,  and  vast  ' 
'quantities  of  salt  are  made  from  thorn  annually. 

Pubtir  Lands,  A  general  Land-Office  exists  at  Washington,  which  is 
sale  of.  vested  exclusively  with  the  power  of  contracting  with  the 
Indians  for  the  sale  of  their  lands.  The  business  of  the  Land  Office  ia 
the  survey  and  sale  of  the  public  lands.  These  lands  are  purchased  of 
t.hs  Indians  by  treaty  with  the  government  of  the  United  States.  Private 
individuals  are  not  allowed  to  have  any  transactions  of  this  description 
with  tho  natives;  and  the  law  has  been  rigorously  observed. 

Thn  aggregate  of  all  the  unsold  and  unappropriated  public  lands  of  the 
United  States,  surveyed  and  unsurveyed,  on  which  the  Indian  title  re- 
mains or  has  been  extinguished,  lying  within  and  without  the  bounda- 
ries of  the  new  states  and  territories,  according  to  a  report  made  to 
congress  in  April  1832,  is  1,090,871,753  acres.  The  lands  are  surveyed 
and  set  off  into  townships  of  six  miles  square,  each  of  which  is  divided 
into  thirty-six  sections,  of  one  mile  square,  or(>40  acres.  The  dividing 
lines  run  in  the  direction  of  the  cardinal  points,  crossing  one  another 
at  right  angles.  One  section,  or  one  thirty-sixth  part  of  every  township, 
is  allotted  for  the  support  of  schools,  and  in  the  country  west  of  the 
Alleghanies,  seven  entire  townships  have  been  given,  in  perpetuity,  for 
the  endowment  of  superior  seminaries  of  learning.  The  lands  are 
offered  to  public  sale,  in  quarter  sections,  of  160  acres,  at  the  minimum 
price  of  one  and  one  fourth  dollar  per  acre,  and  whatever  remains  un- 
sold may  hi  purchased  privately  at  this  price.  Th«  amount  of  sales  is 
on  the  increase;  in  1831,  it  amounted  to  $3,000,000.  Salt  springs,  and 
lead  mines,  are  reserved  bv  government.

sists  of  all  the  males  between  the  ages  of  18  and  45,  and  in  1830,  amount- 
ed to  1,362,315.  The  estimated  expense  of  the  standing  army  for  1832, 
including  fortifications,  armories,  &c.  was  $6,648,099.  When  the  militia 
are  called  into  the  field  for  actual  service,  they  have  the  same  pay  and 
allowances  as  the  regular  army,  bui  are  only  bound  to  serve  t  .1  »\

The  Navy  of  the  United  States  is  small  in  point  of  numbers,     Navy- 
but  is  perhaps  the  best  organized   ami    most  elective  in   the 
world.     The   unexpected  and    astonii-hing  success  of  their  frigates  in 
combats  with  ISriti.-h  vessels  of  the  same  class  during  the  late  war,  es- 
tablished at  once  the  reputation  of  the  American  navy  for  skill  and 
prowess  in  the  eyes  of  Europe;  and  the  United  States,  with  a  very  few 
ships,  already  rank  high  as  a  naval  power.     From  1816  to  lfc'21,  i.ne 
million  of  dollars  was  expended  annually  in    building  ships  of  war. 
Since  lr'21  the  sum  thus  appropriated  has  been  reduced  one  half.    The 
strength  of  the  American  navy  was  as  follows,  in  l&fci: 

Seven  ships  of  the  line,  7  frigates  of  the  first  rate,  3  of  the  second  rate, 
15  sloops  of  war,  8  schooners.  The  oldest  vessels  are  the  Constitution, 
the  United  States,  and  the  Constellation,  all  built  in  the  year  171)7 
Now  building  in  the  United  States,  5  ships  of  the  line,  and  7  frigates. 
Of  the  rank  of  lieutenants  and  upwards,  there  are  325;  surgeons  and 
assistant  surgeons,  97  ;  pursers  41 ;  chaplains  9  ;  midshipmen  445  ;  sail- 
ing masters  30  ;  boatswains  17;  gunners  19;  carpenters  13;  sail-makers 
14.  In  the  marine  corps  there  are  1  colonel,  9  captains,  and  30  lieuten- 
ants. Total  number  of  officers  and  men,  6,345. 

There  are  7  navy  yards  belonging  to,  and  occupied  for  the  use  of,  the 
United  States,  viz: 

No.  1.  The  navy  yard  at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  is  situated  on.an  island, 
on  the  east  side  of  I'iscataqua  river,  within  the  jurisdiction  of  Mitsa- 
chusetts,  contains  58  acres,  and  cost  $5,500. 

No.  2.  The  navy  yard  at  Charlestown,  Mass.,  is  situated  on  the  north

site to  the  city  of  New  York,  on  the  Wallabout  Bay,  contains  40  acres, 
including  the  mill-pond,  and  cost  $40,000. 

No.  4.  The  navy  yard  at  Philadelphia  is  situated  on  the  west  side  of 
the  river  Delaware,  within  the  district  of  Southwark,  adjoining  the  city 
of  Philadelphia,  in  the  state  of  .Pennsylvania,  contains  11  acres,  to  low- 
water  mark,  and  cost  $37,000. 

No.  5.  The  navy  yard  at  Washington,  in  the  District  of  Columbia,  is 
situated  on  the  Eastern  branch  of  the  river  Potomac,  contains  37  acres, 
and  cost  $4,000. 

No.  ().  Tho  navy  yard  at  Gosport  is  situated  on  the  south  branch  of 
Elizabeth  river,  adjoining  the  town  of  Portsmouth,  in  the  state  of  Vir- 
ginia, contains  l(i  acres,  and  cost  $12,000. 

No.  7.  Pensacola,  Florida. 

The  mint  was  established  at  Philadelphia  in  1792.  During  Mjnt. 
the  first  10  years  of  its  establishment,  ending  in  1801,  the 
amount  of  silver  coinage  alone  was  $1,574,000;  from  1801  to  1811,  it 
was  $4,858,000;  from  1811  to  1821,  $6,180,000;  and  from  1821  to  1831. 
$18.32.5,000.  The  whole  coinage  of  1831,  amounted  to  $3,923,473,  of 
which  $714,270  were  of  gold,  <$3,175,COO  of  silver,  and  $35.(i03  of  cop- 
per. The  expense  of  the  mint  for  the  same  year  was  $28,000.  Of  the 
gold  coined,  $518,000  were  from  the  gold  regions  of  the  U.  S.  Gold  and 
silver  are  coined  without  expense  to  the  owners.  The  probable  supply 
of  bullion  for  the  next  period  of  10  years,  is  estimated  at  §6,000,000  an- 
nually The  metallic  currency  of  the  17.  S*.  is  estimated  at  $30,000.000

Post-Office. 


U  N  I— U  T I 

The  first  post-office  in  America  was  established  in  the  city 


of  New  York,  in  1710.  In  1789,  the  exclusive  direction  of  posts, 
&c.,  was  conferred  by  the  constitution  on  congress.  At  that  time  there 
were  but  75  post-offices  in  the  country.  In  1831,  the  number  of  post-of- 
fices was  8,686;  the  extent  of  post-roads  115,176  miles;  and  the  yearly 
transportation  of  mails  equal  to  15,468,692  miles.  The  expenses  of  the 
post-office  department,  for  the  year  1830,  were  $1,959,109  ;  the  receipts, 
$1,919,300;  balance  against  the  department,  $39,809. 
Salaries,  Pen-  The  largest  salary  is  that  of  the  President,  which  is 
sions,  &c.  $25,000  annually  ;  ministers  plenipotentiary  receive  $9,000 
a  year,  with  the  same  sum  for  an  outfit ;  the  secretaries  of  state,  the 
navy,  treasury,  and  war,  and  the  post-master  general,  $0,000  ;  the  vice 
president  and  the  chief  justice,  $5,000 ;  associate  judges  of  the  supreme 
court,  and  charge  d'affaires,  $4,500;  and  members  of  congress  $8  per 
day.  The  annual  revolutionary  and  other  pensions  amount  to 
$1,363,29(5.  There  are  no  sinecures  in  the  U.  S. 

The  debt  of  the  United  States  consists  of  sums  borrowed 
Debt,  during  the  revolutionary  war,  and  at  various  subsequent  periods. 
The  debt  due  by  the  government  at  the  close  of  the  war  in  1783.  wa.s 
42,000,375  dollars  ;  but  no  proper  provision  being  made  for  the  payment 
of  the  interest,  and  the  public  revenue  often  falling  short  of  the  expend- 
iture, the  debt  continued  to  increase,  and  in  1790  it  amounted  to 
79,124,404  dollars.  Various  measures  were  taken  for  its  liquidation,  but 
with  little  effect,  till  1805.  From  that  period  a  gradual  reduction  took 
place,  till  it  was  stopped  by  the  war  with  England  in  1812.  In  1812  the 
amount  of  the  public  debt  was  45,035,123  dollars,  but  in  consequence  of 
the  loans  made  during  the  war,  it  amounted  in  1816  to  123,016,375 
dollars.  Great  progress  has  since  been  made  in  paying  off  the  debt, 
and  on  the  first  of  January,  1832,  it  was  reduced  to  $24,322,235  18.

Since  the  year  1827,  the  gold  mines 

f  Virginia  have  attracted  consider - 
ible  attention.  The  belt  of  coun- 
ry  in  which  they  are  found  extends 
h-ough  Bpotsylvania  and  some 
loighboring  counties.  The  gold 
egion  abounds  in  quartz,  which 
ontains  cubes  of  sulphuret  of  iron. 
These  cubes  are  often  partly  or 
otally  decomposed ;  and  the  cells 
hus  created  are  sometimes  filled 
vith  gold.  The  gold  is  found  on 
he  surface,  and  in  the  structure  of 
luartz;  but  in  greatest  abundance 
esting  upon  slate,  and  in  its  fis- 
mres.  The  gold  is  diffused  over 
arge  surfaces,  and  has  not  yet  been 
"lund  sufficiently  in  mass,  except 
n  a  f<;w  places,  to  make  mining 
irofitable.  The  method  of  obtain- 

ig  the  metal  is  by  filtration,  or 
washing  the  earth,  and  by  an  amal 
;am  of  quicksilver.  The  average 
,-alue  of  the  earth  yielding  gold  is 
stated  at  20  cents  a  bushel.  The 
imount  received  from  this  state  at 
he  United  States'  mint  in  1830  was 
ji-24,000.  The  number  of  cotton 
nanufactories  in  this  state  in  1832 
was  seven,  having  an  aggregate 

apital  of  290,000  dollars,  making 
annually  675,000  yards  of  cloth. 

The  Natural  Bridge,  the  most  sub- 
ime  of  Nature's  works,  is  on  the 
iscent  of  a  hill,  which  seems  to 
lave  been  cloven  through  its  length 
jy  some  great  convulsion.  The 
fissure,  just  at  the  bridge,  is  by  some 
admeasurements  270  fret  deep,  by 
others  only  205.  It  is  about  45  feet 
wide  at  the  bottom,  and  90  feet  at 

he  top:  this  of  course  determines 
the  length  of  the  bridge,  and  its 
height  from  the  water.  The  breadth 
in  the  middle  is  about  1:0  feet,  but 
more  at  the  ends,  and  the  thickness 
of  the  mass  at  the  summit  of  the 
arch,  about  40  feet.  A  part  of  thia 
thickness  is  constituted  by  a  coat 
of  earth,  which  gives  growth  to 
many  large  trees.  The  residue,  with 
the  hill  on  both  sides,  is  one  solid 
rock  of  lime-stone.  The  passage  of 
the  Potomac  through  the  Blue  Ridge, 
says  Mr.  Jefferson,  is  perhaps  one 
of  the  most  stupendous  scenes  in 
nature.  You  stand  on  a  very  high 
point  of  land.  On  your  right  comes 
the  Bhenandoah,  having  ranged 
along  the  foot  of  the  mountain  »

hundred  miles  to  seek  a  vent.  On 
your  left  approaches  the  Potomac 
in  quest  of  a  passage  also.  In  the 
moment  of  their  junction  they  rush 
together  against  the  mountain, 
rend  it  asunder,  and  pass  off  to  the 
sea.  This  scene  is  worth  a  voyage 
across  the  Atlantic.  Yet  here,  as 
in  the  neighborhood  of  the  Natural 
Bridge,  are  people  who  have  passed 
their  lives  within  a  half  dozen 
miles,  and  have  never  been  to  sur 
vey  these  monuments  of  a  war  be- 
tween rivers  and  mountains,  whicl 
must  have  shaken  the  earth  itself 
to  its  centre.  In  the  lime-stone 
country  of  Virginia  there  are  sever 
al  caves  of  considerable  extent 


fiscations,  and  derelict  property ; 
ilso  all  lands  forfeited  for  the  non- 
jayment  of  taxes,  and  all  sums  re- 
'unded  by  the  national  government 
"or  the  expenses  of  the  late  war, 
have  been  appropriated  to  the  en- 
louragement  of  learning.  Of  the 
nteres-t  of  the  fund,  $15,000  are  an- 
nually appropriated  to  the  Universi- 
y  of  Virginia,  and  $45,000  to  the 
iducatiou  of  the  poor  in  the  differ- 
:iit  counties,  according  to  the  ratio 
of  white  population.  The  state  has 
i  permanent  fund  devoted  to  the 
purposes  of  internal  improvement 
if  $1,418,961  11;  and  a  disposable 
fund  of  $681,630;  total  $-2, 100,51)1  11. 
Annual  income  from  both  funds, 


The  most  remarkable  one  is  VVier's  $121,836  75.    This  fund  is  managed 


greatly  inferior  to  Wier's  Cave. 

The  aggregate  amount  of  bank 
capital  is  $5,(i07,000.  The  Bank  of 
the  United  States  has  an  office  of 
discount  and  deposit  at  Richmond 
and  Norfolk.  Besides  the  Universitj 
of  Virginia,  incorporated  in  1819 
and  established  at  Charlottesville 
Albemarle  county,  there  are  three 
colleges  in  this  state;  William  and 
Mary  college,  at  Williamsburg 
Hanipden  Sidney  college,  in  Prince 
Edward  county,  on  Appomatox  t. 
and  Washington  college  at  Lex 
ington,  west  of  the  Blue  Ridge,  nea 
James  river.  Academies  and  com 
mon  schools  are  also  established  in 
several  towns.  This  state  has  pro 
duced  a  number  of  eminent  charac 
ters,  of  whom  WASHINGTON,  th< 
Great  and  the  Good,  is  of  mos 
illustrious  memory.  It  has  furnish 
ed  four  of  the  presidents  of  th< 
Union.  This  state  has  a  Literary 
Fund,  created  in  1809,  and  amount 
ing,  in  available  capital,  according 
to  a  late  report,  to  $1,510,689  71

Its  entrance  is  only  about  100  yards

it  has  been  much  longer  known,  is  whom  the  country  was  named  Vir-

Maryland  to  the  U.  States  in  full 
sovereignty,  and  the  proprietors  of 
the  soil  surrendered  their  lands  to 
be  laid  out  as  a  city,  gave  up  one- 
half  to  the  U.  S.,  and  subjected 
other  parts  to  be  sold  to  raise  money 
as  a  donation  to  be  employed  and 
constitute  a  fund  for  the  public! 
buildings.  The  buildings  belonging 
to  the  U.  States,  are,  1.  The  Capi- 
tol: This  is  a  magnificent  structure 
of  the  Corinthian  order.  It  is  situ- 
ated on  the  western  extremity  of 
Capitol  Square,  7?  feet  above  the 
tide-water  of  the  Potomac.  The 
eminence  commands  a  tine  view  of 
the  city,  the  river,  and  the  sur- 
rounding country.  The  Capitol  is 
of  white  freestone,  composed  of  a 
central  edifice  and  two  wings,  and 
is  of  the  following  dimensions: 
Length  of  front  350  feet,  depth  of 
wings  121,  east  projection  65,  west 
do.  83,  height  of  wings  to  top  of  bal- 
ustrade 70,  do.  to  top  of  centre  dome 
120,  length  of  Representatives'  Hall 
95,  height  do.  GO,  length  of  Senate 
Chamber  74,  height  do.  42,  diameter 
of  Rotunda  90,  height  do.  f.O.  The 
Representatives'  Chamber  is  a  mag 
nificent  semicircular  apartment 
supported  by  bluish  polished  stone 
columns,  lighted  from  above.  In 
the  centre  of  the  building  is  the  Ro- 
tunda, 90  feet  in  diameter,  and  the 
same  number  of  feet  in  height.  It 
is  ornamented  with  national  pai 
ings,  representing  the  surrender  at 
Saratoga  and  York  town,  the  De 
claration  of  Independence,  and 
Washington  Resigning  his  Com 
mission.  Each  of  these  paintings 
is  12  feet  by  18.  There  are  also  re 
lievos  in  marble  representing  Poca 
hontas  rescuing  Capt.  Smith  from 
death,  the  landing  of  the  pilgrims 
at  Plymouth,  one  of  Penn's  treaties 
with  the  Indians,  and  a  battle  be- 
tween Boon  and  two  Indians.  This 
noble  and  magnificent  apartment  is 
of  white  marble,  and  lighted  from 
the  dome.  Men  on  the  pediment 
seem  dwindled  to  atoms,  and  the 
slightest  noise  creates  echoes,  which 
reverberate  upon  the  ear  with  a 
grand  and  surprising  effect.  The 
foundation  of  the  north  wing  was 
laid  in  the  presence  of  Gen.  Wash 
ington  in  1798,  and  that  of  the  cen 
tre  in  1818,  on  the  anniversary  of 


ts  destruction  by  the  British  in 
1814.  The  building  covers  nearly  2

ains  22£  acres,  comprehending  a 
:ircumference  of  over  $  of  a  mile; 
nclosed  by  an  iron  railing,  with 
icat  gate-ways  and  gravel  walks, 
bordered  with  shrubs  and  flowers, 
brining  a  delightful  promenade.

;he  Capitol,  in  which  are  kept  the 
)ffices  of  the  post-office  establish-
